Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from July 29, 2022

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!
	♥ 7:57am Jan Turkenburg: Hi MHLee. tuned in.
	♥ 7:58am MHLee: Hello Jan
	♥ 8:06am MHLee: Not sure why it skipped for a moment. But I'm going to ignore that
	♥ 8:06am MHLee: Also not quite sure the date on that one
	🎸 ♥ 8:20am Krys O.: Howdy!
	♥ 8:20am MHLee: Wonder when the Banana Split became a thing...
	♥ 8:20am MHLee: Hi Krys O!
	🎸 ♥ 8:22am Krys O.: The popularity of soda fountains with ice cream specialties was probably tied to innovations in refrigeration. I'm guessing.
	♥ 8:24am Feldy: MHLee! I'm actually up at 5am and at the computer. Good morning
	♥ 8:25am MHLee: It never occurred to me that they were singing about one in 1927 until today. I would have assumed it was connected to Malt Shops which I don't really picture until the 1940s
	♥ 8:25am MHLee: Hi Feldy!
	♥ 8:26am Jan Turkenburg: Hi Krys and Feldy!
	♥ 8:27am Feldy: Hi Jan! Hi Krys!
	♥ 8:27am MHLee: I think my voice-over skipped somehow.
	🎸 ♥ 8:28am Krys O.: Soda fountains started in the mid-19th century. The banana split started in the early 1900s. Hey, Feldy, Jan, MHLee!
	♥ 8:35am MHLee: Apologies for the skips.
	♥ 8:36am MHLee: Someone clearly loved this record
	♥ 8:38am Jan Turkenburg: Have to 'fly' now. Catch the rest in the archives. See you all!
	♥ 8:40am MHLee: See ya, Jan!
	🎸 ♥ 8:50am Krys O.: Thanks, MHLee!
	♥ 8:51am Feldy: Quite a fun show you got going here, MHLee. Love it!
	♥ 8:52am MHLee: Thanks Feldy! Thanks for listening Krys O. I actually snuck in one more track so two more!
	♥ 8:57am Feldy: Thanks, MHLee! Glad I caught the show
	♥ 11:54pm WR: Greatly enjoying archive listening.
