Favoriting Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from June 2, 2023 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.

Ray Bourbon  To Hell With the Range   Favoriting 1941?  Ray (or Rae) Bourbon was notable for risque monologues. After 1956 Ray claimed to have undergone sex reassignment surgery in Mexico and preferred Rae. In 1968, Rae was found to be an accessory to murder. Previously Rae had entrusted 70 dogs to A. D. Blount, a kennel owner, after a trailer that followed Rae's vehicle for the dogs broke down. After failing to pay upkeep the dogs were likely given to shelters, but Rae believed the man had killed them and hired two men to beat Blount. Ultimately, they killed Blount.

I was surprised by the age of some of these songs

And how far back a recognizable camp accent can be found. I wonder when it developed.

Sometime in the 1920s to 1930s there was what was called the pansy craze. Drag became immensely popular in New York

Hi Kitschy Mama! A mix of kitsch is a lot of what I try to do here. I like to put in archival shows as well. This show was fun to find tracks for.
