Favoriting Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from September 6, 2024 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.

In the 1960s Cannon and some members of the Memphis jug band were joined together and recorded a lot of music

There is a very lovely string band instrumental after the Weber "Going to Memphis" recording. Very lovely and you didn't playlist it.

It's the same band and not credited as a different track. Not sufre what they are playing.

Interesting. The discogs listing for the CD makes no mention about the track being special, which on close relistening I can hear that the the 2nd half of the song is also live but can't tell why the sudden jump / edit. The 2nd half is lovely music, sounding like informal acoustic session with different players exchanging the lead.

An interesting series of interviews with various folks collected shortly after Weber's death.
