Favoriting Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from September 23, 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.

MHLee! as I live and breathe

Hello DJ Guin

It's such a different style of banjo playing than the Scruggs style.

television phone? What does that mean in 1930?

Hi MHLee and DJ Guin. Sorry, I was so caught up in my upcoming hellraiser special series, I forgot about time.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:31am
Jan Turkenburg:

I see I missed out on a lot of great stuff
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:32am
MHLee:

You get to catch Duke Ellington though
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:32am
Jan Turkenburg:

:-)
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:33am
MHLee:

Duke Ellington, Fred Rodgers, Bo Didley, and I are all alumni of the same music fraternity
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:37am
MHLee:

Really love how convincingly this song sounds like an earlier era. Stoneking in general is like that.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:44am
Jan Turkenburg:

This PMJ version works for me too.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:46am
MHLee:

Sometimes PMJ pulls it together. It helps Scott is a very good ragtime pianist.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:50am
Jan Turkenburg:

I don't like everything by PMJ as well, but I can't hear in Tiny Tim what you do. Music works in strange ways depending how one's brain is wired, or something.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:51am
Jan Turkenburg:

I really love this rendition of the Floral Dance.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:52am
MHLee:

Peter Dawson recorded this much earlier as well. I think he redid it about 15 years later.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:54am
MHLee:

There's a wealth of Rudy on archive.org, including his 1960s comedy album. His 1960s music album, with covers of Winchester Cathedral, pop songs, and some brand new songs is on Bandcamp.

Jan Turkenburg:

My first encounter with this piece was when the Brighouse and Rastrick Brass Band had a hit with it. Really strong memories about a frost period and skating on the ponds of Vinkeveen where I lived and about my virtually tone-deaf grand mother who really liked this record. I can still see her smile when i hear that melody.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:00am
MHLee:

That's sweet. I have a similarly obscure memory of the William Tell Overture by Spike Jones. I guess there was a VCR release of the Spike Jones show which features it synced to a horse race with comedic shots of a horse in a stall. I watched it at my grandparents' house but had forgotten about it until I accidentally encountered the song.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:01am
MHLee:

The video on youtube is not the same one, someone assured me that was the case when I said I remembered some different elements.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 9:02am
Jan Turkenburg:

Thanks MHLee, I will certainly listen to the first half in the archives.
