Favoriting Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from December 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.

I looked around online and really couldn't see much. It might be because coin-operated players were set up in adult situations like hotel lobbies, train stations, and such. Some bright person would eventually see that recorded music could help with babysitting.

That's great! I didn't "get" the Three Stooges until I was a little older, then it made sense, so to speak. :D

That's right! Shemp might have been the tallest. He was part of the original Stooges with Ted Healy.

And Shemp was a brother to the rest of the them... family act

I was right. Shemp was 5' 7". Larry, Joe De Rita were 5' 4" and Larry was 5' 5". Moe was the shortest at 5' 3".
