Favoriting Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from August 19, 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.

Gee, though it is obvious that the Henry song had music hall roots didn't know it was truly a music hall song.

Regarding women performers in drag, Jan recently played Pepi Littmann whose career was "performing highly satirical songs while costumed as a male Khosid. Because she frequently performed costumed as a young boy or as a male dandy, she is considered a proto-Drag King performer."

MHLee:

Darryl's book David Bowie Made Me Gay gets into the thick of it. I am not familiar with Pepi Littmann though!

WR:

I got Darryl book recently. Have not read it yet.

Littmann on Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org...
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 8:42am
WR:

Was just looking to see what a Khosid is, and what I've found so far makes it seem like a style of music rather than a type of person or role in the community. Still wondering about that.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:43am
Jan Turkenburg:

Would be interesting to see if we can get enough Litmann recordings to do a special.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:45am
MHLee:

Khosid lookes like it may be a variant of the word (c)Hasidic
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 8:46am
WR:

One thing I found:
“Khusidl, Khosidl, or Khosid: A slow circle or line dance in Hasidic style, in a stately 2/4 rhythm. In some regions of Eastern Europe, synonomous with freylekhs.”

WR:

If not a Litmann special, perhaps along with a few other similar performers.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:48am
MHLee:

"Khosid = 'follower/student/disciple' (in the context of being a "chassid/khosid of X rebbe" means that they were a follower/student/disciple of a certain Hasidic rebbe)..." so yeah it's a related term

I haven't done a klezmer show yet
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:53am
MHLee:

This song is considered to be full of innuendo
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 8:54am
WR:

Yes, think you are right MHLee about the term's relationship to Hasidic.

Oh, look what I found: www.youtube.com...

I was considering doing a show on barbershop next week but might look at my klezmer and Jewish vaudeville (which often ends up being essentially Jewish ethnic jokes by Jews)

Thanks for another enjoyable show, MHLee!

Well, looks like lots of Litmann out there, Jan.

Thank you MHLee. Lots of adventures packed into an hour every week. Merrily We Roll Along, indeed.

Cream always had a weird relationship with archaic music. The first single of Cream, Wrapping Paper definitely had that influence.

Thanks DJ Guin and WR!
