Favoriting Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from June 24, 2022 Favoriting

MHLee's avatar View MHLee's profile Favoriting

Merrily We Roll Along is a mish-mash of high energy lunacy, reverence, and irreverence for forgotten pop stars, love for Saturday morning cartoons, and exploration of the side of Bandcamp where I seem to be the only one purchasing. Bringing to you the odd and the upbeat from a growing collection of pre-rock novelties, classic and neo-Vaudeville, jug bands, polka, klezmer, and more at the convenient hour of 8-9 AM EST, Merrily We Roll Along starts the day off with a little light-hearted musical tomfoolery cut with an occasional comedy sketch. It's organic, free-range, cheese with the occasional onion thrown in.

Having minor tech issues

MHLee:

Sorry folks restarting the computer.

WR:

At least the stream has been on brand for your program.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:06am
MHLee:

Refresh the stream
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 8:11am
WR:

darn, didn't refresh soon enough to hear your opening announcement. But yes, refreshed and hearing the circus music. Is Limonaire also a calliope? It is classic circus music.
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 8:14am
WR:

My partner is from Japan. Came to USA as an adult. Of all my childhood favorites, she enjoys the 3 Stooges the most.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:14am
MHLee:

The Limonaire I think is just a large pipe organ that is on wheels irc
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:16am
MHLee:

The Stooges are a classic. I need to watch more of them to be honest though.
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 8:18am
WR:

There was percussion on the Limonaire cut, was wondering if it was one of those music machines with the drums and cymbals built in.

Nice tie in of the Old King Cole medley including the 3 blind mice melody as was also in the 3 Stooges theme music.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:20am
MHLee:

I would say it's likely the limonaire has the drums built in it... there are a bunch of videos of it on vimeo and it seems to have no accompiest
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 8:25am
WR:

Thanks, will look up the limonaire on vimeo.

There is a nice 3 Stooge complete collection DVD set.
We have that. The transfers are well done and, crucial to my partner's enjoyment, there are well done English subtitles. It has a decent booklet but not a pricey deluxe package.

This was recorded in Jacksonville 2008 and released 2009

WR:

I enjoy when I hear Tom Waits but I don't know his oeuvre. By that I mean I don't know many of his releases or what has been the progression of his career.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:32am
MHLee:

He starts out somewhere between Sinatra and Randy Newman
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 8:33am
WR:

Love Groucho, is this from a radio broadcast?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:34am
MHLee:

That's a Broadcast recording but not sure when it was released
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 8:38am
WR:

C W Stoneking is new to me, will check him out later, thank you for the link.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:39am
MHLee:

Discovered him on the Over the Garden Wall S/T
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 8:43am
WR:

I got a copy of Over the Garden Wall but haven't watched it yet. Just watched part of one episode.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:45am
MHLee:

The soundtrack is very good. Parts of it remind me of Tom Waits.
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 8:46am
WR:

The voice cast for OTGW is pretty amazing too.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:50am
MHLee:

That is true. It's a strange series to have been created
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:51am
MHLee:

Dumbo is one of those Disney movies that I need to re-watch though that may be hard to do. I'm not sure Disney will broadcast it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:52am
MHLee:

I wonder if the low voice is Thurl Ravenscroft
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:57am
MHLee:

We'll go about 5 minutes over because of the connection issues.
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 8:58am
WR:

Thurl isn;t listed on the Wikipedia cast. It does say that Disney + has the full 1941 version of Dumbo with a warning about "outdated cultural depictions" and "racist minstrel shows".
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 9:03am
WR:

Was following the link for Circus Contraption. Seems to have ended in 2012. The bandcamp page says go to CD Baby for purchase of their CDs, but CD Baby stopped doing sales a year or more ago. Also there is something about 2 members being killed but the links are dead. Sombre.

Another great episode MHLee. Thank you!
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 9:05am
WR:

And happy birthday Jan whenever you check in on this episode! LOL.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:05am
MHLee:

Thanks WR! Yeah, I read about that, 2014 shooting in the PNW. All their stuff is on Amazon.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:05am
MHLee:

Indeed! Happy birthday, Jan!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:06am
MHLee:

@WR looks like it was probably Thurl! www.discogs.com...
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 9:09am
WR:

Yes, looks like you are right, likely he was in the Sportsmen for that.
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 9:09am
WR:

Again, thank you, Laters.
