Favoriting Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from September 22, 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.

↳ Song: "L'Internationale" by "Tony Babino"
one of the weirdest versions of a song I've ever heard.

Yes, I saw Willie last Sunday.

Only time I've seen him in person. At 90 yesrs old I had low expectations but really enjoyed it.

Yes, I saw him with John Fogerty

WR:

↳ MHLee @8:08
Did they perform together or separate sets?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:10am
MHLee:

↳ WR @8:09
Separate sets, basically two sets of John Fogerty too because storms interupted his set... he came back and did six songs accoustically
Avatar 👻 Swag For Life Member 8:16am

↳ MHLee @8:10
sounds interesting, one drawback abiut Fogarty for me is that he is so precise so something that might introduce some spontaneity could spice it up.

this song I'm familiar with, probably from Pete Seeger.

Originally Woody Guthrie but Pete Seeger preforming it would make sense

Willie was amazing, besides his singing his songs, his guitar playing blew me away.
