Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from August 19, 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 WR: Merrily Merrily here to hear.
	7:58am MHLee: Hi WR!
	8:03am Jan Turkenburg: Hello WR and MHLee!
	8:03am MHLee: Hi Jan!
	👻 8:05am WR: Gee, though it is obvious that the Henry song had music hall roots didn't know it was truly a music hall song.
	8:06am DJ Guin: eight enemas seems a bit extreme..but it is his tuchus
	8:07am MHLee: Hi DJ Guin
	8:07am DJ Guin: hi MHLee
	8:07am DJ Guin: hi Jan and WR
	8:09am Jan Turkenburg: Hey DJ Guin!
	8:09am MHLee: Probably backed by Billy Cotton, who performed Horsey Horsey on a previous show
	8:12am MHLee: Me-Riah actually
	8:15am MHLee: The fashion here is ridiculous
	8:27am MHLee: Notice the prevalence of Mockney
	👻 8:30am WR: Hi DJ Guin.
	8:36am MHLee: Oops when I marry Amelia
	👻 8:36am WR: Regarding women performers in drag, Jan recently played Pepi Littmann whose career was "performing highly satirical songs while costumed as a male Khosid. Because she frequently performed costumed as a young boy or as a male dandy, she is considered a proto-Drag King performer."
	8:37am MHLee: Darryl's book David Bowie Made Me Gay gets into the thick of it. I am not familiar with Pepi Littmann though!
	👻 8:40am WR: I got Darryl book recently. Have not read it yet. Littmann on Wikipedia: en.wikipedia.org...
	👻 8:42am WR: Was just looking to see what a Khosid is, and what I've found so far makes it seem like a style of music rather than a type of person or role in the community. Still wondering about that.
	8:43am Jan Turkenburg: Would be interesting to see if we can get enough Litmann recordings to do a special.
	8:45am MHLee: Khosid lookes like it may be a variant of the word (c)Hasidic
	👻 8:46am WR: One thing I found: “Khusidl, Khosidl, or Khosid: A slow circle or line dance in Hasidic style, in a stately 2/4 rhythm. In some regions of Eastern Europe, synonomous with freylekhs.” www.jewish-music.huji.ac.il...
	👻 8:47am WR: If not a Litmann special, perhaps along with a few other similar performers.
	8:48am MHLee: "Khosid = 'follower/student/disciple' (in the context of being a "chassid/khosid of X rebbe" means that they were a follower/student/disciple of a certain Hasidic rebbe)..." so yeah it's a related term
	8:50am MHLee: I haven't done a klezmer show yet
	8:53am MHLee: This song is considered to be full of innuendo
	👻 8:54am WR: Yes, think you are right MHLee about the term's relationship to Hasidic.
	8:56am Jan Turkenburg: Oh, look what I found: www.youtube.com...
	8:57am MHLee: I was considering doing a show on barbershop next week but might look at my klezmer and Jewish vaudeville (which often ends up being essentially Jewish ethnic jokes by Jews)
	8:58am Jan Turkenburg: Thanks for another enjoyable show, MHLee!
	8:58am MHLee: This one was my introduction to music hall
	8:58am MHLee: Thanks for listening everyone!
	8:59am DJ Guin: great show MHLee!
	👻 9:00am WR: Well, looks like lots of Litmann out there, Jan. Thank you MHLee. Lots of adventures packed into an hour every week. Merrily We Roll Along, indeed.
	9:00am MHLee: Cream always had a weird relationship with archaic music. The first single of Cream, Wrapping Paper definitely had that influence.
	9:01am MHLee: Thanks DJ Guin and WR!
