Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from March 7, 2025

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.

	♥ 7:58am WR: Hello MHLee and folks.
	♥ 8:01am MHLee: Hi WR
	♥ 8:08am Listener Robert: A couple things I don't recall seeing about Mr. Bullock: how he died -- I remember he'd been sick a while, but thought he'd gotten better -- and whether that was his real name. If not, I don't need to know his real name, but "Darryl W. Bullock" sounded made-up and reminded me of a name Jean Shepherd frequently used for boss types -- Bullard.
	♥ 8:10am MHLee: ↳ Listener Robert @8:08 It was sudden and unexpected and it was his real name... just a perfect name for what he did.
	♥ 8:11am MHLee: funeral-notices.co.uk...
	♥ 8:16am Listener Robert: ↳ MHLee @8:10 Yes, I wonder whetherr his name led him to what he did, it was so right. Sort of a mix of Daryl Zanuck and the aforementioned fictional Bullard, and a middle initial of W" perfected it How old was he?
	♥ 8:17am MHLee: ↳ Listener Robert @8:16 Just 60
	🎸 ♥ 8:33am David (in London): Morning Mr Mason, rare opportunity to attend live for me.
	♥ 8:34am MHLee: ↳ David (in London) @8:33 Hi David (in London)
	♥ 8:51am MHLee: ↳ Song: "I Wanna Hot Dog For My Roll" by "Butterbeans and ... These two were on the black vaudeville circuit
	♥ 8:51am MHLee: Thank you everyone for the donations.
	♥ 8:54am MHLee: ↳ Song: "I Wanna Hot Dog For My Roll" by "Butterbeans and ... The song was accompanied by Susie's provocative dancing and Buttberbeans's call-and-response one-liners: "My dog's never cold!" "Here's a dog that's long and lean."[7] "I Want a Hot Dog for My Roll" was one of the few songs that Okeh refused to release.
	♥ 9:00am MHLee: ↳ Song: "You Put It In, I'll Take It Out" by "Papa Charlie... That's a monstrous banjo
