Listener comments!
	7:56am MHLee: Hi folks
	7:57am MHLee: Is this fat Elvis?
	7:59am Jan: I think he certainly had been putting on some weight by the time of this recording
	7:59am MHLee: Hi Jan!
	7:59am Jan Turkenburg: Hi Mason!
	8:00am Jan Turkenburg: I still have to refresh my player at the beginning of your show.
	8:02am Jan Turkenburg: A strange issue that only happens with a particular few DJs
	8:02am MHLee: Me too. Not sure why but it seems to work
	8:04am Jan Turkenburg: I think most listeners know that they need tryi refreshing when there's silence at the beginning of a show.
	8:06am MHLee: I believe there's a Bing Crosby recording of this. He sang quite a few cowboy songs thought I don't know if he was in a Western
	8:08am Mike Rogers: MH Lee san! Jan san! Hello from Japan!
	8:09am MHLee: Hi Mike!
	8:09am Jan Turkenburg: Goedenavond Meneer Rogers! Greetings from the European continent!
	8:10am Mike Rogers: Howdy MH Lee san!
	8:10am Mike Rogers: Europe? My you are up very late no?
	8:11am MHLee: Wikipedia has a diagram incase you want to understand this chaos
	8:11am DJ Guin: this selection sounds straight from the Uncle Floyd Show circa 1978
	8:11am Jan Turkenburg: No, it's 2 pm here :-)
	8:11am MHLee: Grandpa Jones is probably best remembered for Hee-Haw at this point @DJ Guin
	8:12am Jan Turkenburg: It's after midnight during your show. That's why I can't listen live, unfortunately
	8:12am zivilars: Hi everyone, thanks for the show MHLee – classic country is ALWAYS appreciated!!
	8:12am Jan Turkenburg: Hi DJ Guin!
	8:12am MHLee: Hi Zivilars!
	8:13am zivilars: Hey Jan, hope everything's well in the Netherlands
	8:13am DJ Guin: Hi DJ Jan!
	8:14am zivilars: And hi Mike Rogers, I also often miss your show live because of European time zone, unfortunately, but catching up in the archives!
	8:14am Jan Turkenburg: Hi Zivilars, our country appears to be in crisis, but I'm ok today ;-)
	8:15am DJ Guin: @MHlee - there was a 'children's' show back in the 70's and 80's that originated out of NJ. I actually knew Uncle Floyd -- he is sad and drinks too much these days. He would play these songs live while playing piano
	8:15am Jan Turkenburg: I'm sorry Zivilars, in which country do you live again?
	8:15am zivilars: @Jan: The Corona situation or what are you talking about exactly? (other than the Euro and economy crashing, same here in Germany)
	8:15am zivilars: @Jan: Germany :)
	8:18am MHLee: @DJ Guin interesting
	8:19am Jan Turkenburg: At this moment corona is the least of our problems. We have several crises the nitrogen crisis (with farmers protesting), 13% inflation, draught, hundreds refugees having slept outdoors for a few weeks, trains on strike... did I forget something..?
	8:20am MHLee: Water?
	8:21am zivilars: wow, that sounds bad indeed … you're really already at 13% inflation?? probably soon here in Germany, too. And energy prices through the roof, this even becomes a problem for people who have a "normal" or better salary, it's crazy.
	8:22am Jan Turkenburg: Yes, i forgot energy!
	8:23am MHLee: Oh wait you said drought
	8:25am Jan Turkenburg: Ah yes I mispelled. After a dry winter, spring and especially summer there was no rain to speak of. That with glaciers shrinking, transport over water rivers becomes difficult. Ground water levels are dropping beneath records, etc...
	8:26am MHLee: Yeah, I've seen some images and heard things from my close friend in Serbia
	8:27am Jan Turkenburg: Also salt sea water pushing into the rivers is beginning to have consequences.
	8:28am MHLee: I also heard the Oder River on the German-Polish border is just dead
	8:29am MHLee: I had never heard this particular chaos before
	8:29am Jan Turkenburg: Through history the Dutch have been focussing on protecting against flood and not against this....
	8:30am Jan Turkenburg: Meanwhile in Pakistan.... :-(
	8:36am Jan Turkenburg: Yes The Oder is quite big news overhere. I don't think they have found the cause yet, but dying water animals are causing a cascade effect on the poison levels..
	8:37am MHLee: Don't think Russ Columbo ever expected that
	8:38am wenzo toad: Howdy MH Lee
	8:39am wenzo toad: Mornin’ Jan
	8:39am MHLee: Hi Wenzo!
	8:39am Jan Turkenburg: Howdy Wenzo!
	8:41am MHLee: Multiple songs about getting kicked in the groin
	8:42am wenzo toad: Sorry everything’s going crazy over there Jan…here we are so used to insanity it doesn’t phase us so much… I suppose that’s one advantage of living in a country with such garbage politics.
	8:43am MHLee: Things are crazy ALL the time
	8:45am wenzo toad: There’s been a tree down in the middle of my street since a huge storm Monday… I guess they’re to busy what with all the downed power lines to clear a street only a dozen or so people live on. I kind of like it tho, feels peaceful not having any cars drive by. Maybe my neighbors feel the same.
	8:46am MHLee: Little Spike Jones send off in the beginning there
	8:51am MHLee: @Wenzo trees in the road is a relatable experience
	8:53am wenzo toad: I just saw there’s an official looking dude looking at it now. Just one guy, they must still be scrambling. I was hoping we’d be a dead end street for a while longer. Oh well.
	8:57am MHLee: It was quite a move by Ween to go to Nashville and get all the professional Nashville sessions guys to record with them
	8:58am wenzo toad: Thanks for spinning the platters MHL!
	8:59am Jan Turkenburg: Another enjoyable show, thanks MHLee!
	8:59am MHLee: Thanks for listening Wenzo! We will go slightly over but not much!
	8:59am MHLee: I'm back at 6pm tonight!
	9:01am MHLee: Thank you, Jan!

Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from September 2, 2022

View MHLee's profile

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.

Friday 8 - 9am (EST) | On WFMU's Sheena's Jungle Room
