Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from July 7, 2023

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.

Listener comments!
	♥ 8:00am WR: I listen to two types of music, country and western.
	♥ 8:01am MHLee: Greetings WR
	♥ 8:19am MHLee: ↳ Song: "Nowhere" by "Red Ingle" Quite a cover they've got there
	♥ 8:24am WR: ↳ Song: "Jam-Bowl-Liar (Jambalaya)" by "Homer and Jethro" that looks like a very early Homer & Jethro photo but also looks like it have been taken recently.
	♥ 8:26am MHLee: ↳ WR @8:24 it's hard to tell because homer's hair is always retreated
	♥ 8:38am MHLee: All these hillibilly jazz bands are a weird thing
	♥ 8:39am MHLee: Because they basically are dixieland bands but they always get portrayed like they came out of hee-haw
	♥ 8:44am WR: New Orleans / Dixieland Jazz very early on, particularly when presented in tents shows / vaudeville setting was sometimes marketed as primitive rural music. This was even before it began to be recorded. There is a famous photograph of later very famous New Orleans jazz performers dressed as farm workers for a publicity photo. King Oliver's band I think,
	♥ 8:45am MHLee: ↳ WR @8:44 The Georgia Crackers come to mind as well
	♥ 8:46am WR: Yes, this King Oliver band photo: i.discogs.com...
	♥ 8:48am MHLee: ↳ WR @8:46 Cool photo
	♥ 8:51am MHLee: ↳ Song: "Took My Gal Out Walkin'" by "Loudon Wainwright III" On of the ragtime songs in charlie poole's repertoire
	♥ 8:56am WR: ↳ Song: "Took My Gal Out Walkin'" by "Loudon Wainwright III" Did not know about Wainwright's Charlie Poole Project recording. Was early fan of Wainwright but did not keep up with him after his first two albums. Charlie Poole, of course, is classic early performer.
	♥ 8:58am WR: Thank you for this fun program. Will be relistening to the Schnickelfritzers / Kidoodlers / Kobbers set for sure.
	♥ 8:58am MHLee: ↳ WR @8:56 It's a good album, won a grammy.
	2:18pm Mr Fab: Archive-isizing now - can't believe I am only now discovering the Kidoodlers, and The Crazy Tooters. Thx, MHLee!
	♥ 3:39am Jan Turkenburg: I like the bed music in the opening.
	♥ 4:43am Jan Turkenburg: ↳ Mr Fab @2:18 I second that. Taking a dive into the rabbit hole now!
	♥ 4:43am Jan Turkenburg: Splendid show, Mason!
	♥ 4:50am Jan Turkenburg: ↳ Mr Fab @2:18 Boy... just finding out that I've played The Kidoodlers' "Popcorn" myself, twice even. Welcome to the Alzheimer Forrest, hey...
