Favoriting Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from November 24, 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.

Sorry for the lack of info and stuff on the tracks. Constraints of travel

Don't worry about that! Better to have a basic show than none at all. I can relate! ;-)

An interesting approach to the Caribbean would be the many records made for tourist consumption and then ended up in thrift stores. I have a few and have found some on Archive.org.

Interestingly you can find records on Trinidadians going to "war' against Jamaicans for being fake calypso singers.

Yes, didn't Irwin do some calypsonian projects? Right, MHLee, that's it.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:20am
MHLee:

Also found a lot of new bands for this show are tagged "calypso" on bandcamp despite being basically neo-vaudeville bands

↳ Song: "Buy Me a Zeppelin" by "Macbeth the Great"
Nice saxophone and trumpet breaks.

Got to love the calypso identities.... sir Lancelot, Lord Invader, Atila the Hun etc.

May be a recording limitation/choice.

Jan Turkenburg:

The more we are together, seems derived from the Austrian "Mein lieber Augustin" which is also a Saint Nicholas song in the Netherlands.

melody is share with a nursery rhyme called meerily we roll along
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:52am
Jan Turkenburg:

↳ MHLee @8:45
I hate to disagree....they're not exactly the same...
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:52am
Jan Turkenburg:

Ah.... you meant Mary had a little lamb!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:54am
Jan Turkenburg:

But there's a part in this recording were they switch to "the more we are together, the merrier we will be", which shares melody (different beat) with O du lieber Augustin.
