Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from June 7, 2024

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.

	8:06am MHLee: Questel is marketed as the Betty Boop girl on this release. B side is Animal Crackers
	8:09am DJ Guin: morning MHLee hey there WR
	8:10am MHLee: Hi DJ Guin
	👻 8:12am WR: ↳ Song: "Readin' Ritin' Rhythm" by "Helen Kane" That R R R (shish boom bah) school cheer riff. Wonder when that started. Sounded just like what I heard in the 60s to the 80s. Don't know how much it has changed in recent years.
	8:12am MHLee: ↳ Song: "Six Times Six is Thirty Six" by "France White (of... Presented as evidence that Helen Kane was not unique.
	8:15am MHLee: ↳ WR @8:12 I'll have to go back and think about it. I didn't mentally register it.
	8:22am MHLee: ↳ Song: "Baby Won't You Please Come Home" by "Bessie Smith" wow images are behaving ppor;ly today
	👻 8:29am WR: oh, that repeat of the previous image that I saw a couple of times which you fixed is some glitchy thing happening. Extra stress.
	8:33am MHLee: ↳ WR @8:29 it's an issue with my uploads today.
	👻 8:47am WR: ↳ Song: "When My Baby Smiles At Me" by "Freddie Fisher & t... seems like an audience, was that a radio broadcast?
	8:50am MHLee: ↳ WR @8:47 adp.library.ucsb.edu... this what i could find. Will need to check if it's the same recording
	👻 8:54am WR: ↳ Song: "When My Baby Smiles At Me" by "Freddie Fisher & t... I do see there was a Decca release and listening to a 78 rip of the song found on utoob there was no audience response. The USCB link you posted also has no audience response (easy to skip to the end where I thought I heard applause, etc on what you played today.
	8:57am MHLee: ↳ WR @8:54 The issue is I got this from bandcamp which has no context
	8:57am MHLee: ↳ WR @8:54 theocarinacenter.bandcamp.com...
	8:58am MHLee: It sounds live and the whole set does but I have no idea where it is from
