Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from December 2, 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.

	8:00am Jan Turkenburg: Hi MHLee
	8:00am MHLee: Hello Jan
	8:01am MHLee: I listened to your interview last night
	8:02am Jan Turkenburg: good. I hope you liked it :-)
	8:03am MHLee: I feel like I missed out by not being in the mailing list period of the internet
	8:05am Jan Turkenburg: I can understand. You probably would have thrived in the groups some of the later Sheena DJs were in.
	8:05am DJ Guin: morning MHLee and Jan!
	8:05am Jan Turkenburg: Hi DJ Guin!
	8:06am MHLee: Hi Dj Guin
	8:07am MHLee: I love the guitar bits on songs around this era
	8:09am MHLee: The accent gives a flavor
	8:09am Jan Turkenburg: Yes, sounded so much nicer than the modern day polished hq acoustic guitar recordings in pop music.
	8:12am MHLee: I'd love to have the 78 collection Tiny Tim must have had at hand
	8:22am MHLee: Is it just my phone or is his falsetto not coming over air?
	8:24am Jan Turkenburg: It sounds as it should over here, I think
	8:25am Jan Turkenburg: Woops, you mic just went up in volume :-)
	8:26am MHLee: I think I fixed that. Hopefully
	8:28am MHLee: This song sticks out to me for being so radically different and apocalyptic.
	8:29am MHLee: "Now everybody sing!"
	8:35am MHLee: Sorry folks my player froze for a second
	8:39am MHLee: The last few songs are more contemporary.
	8:39am Jan Turkenburg: One of my fav Bowie songs covered lovely!
	8:41am MHLee: I think Bowie actually covered it which also means Bowie and Tiny Tim have one song overlapping in discography.
	8:42am MHLee: Groundhog Day
	8:43am Jan Turkenburg: oh wow, never realised... So this was the original!!!
	8:44am MHLee: The Spectre of the Wall of Sound
	👻 8:45am WR: Hi, connected.
	8:46am Jan Turkenburg: Hi WR.
	8:46am MHLee: Hi WR, we've just finished tracking down the original versions of the songs on Tiny Tim's first album.
	8:48am MHLee: Nat King Cole is underrated these days.
	8:54am MHLee: I believe he appeared a year earlier on the show as well where he gives a good interview
	8:55am DJ Guin: bye kids
	8:56am MHLee: CYA DJ Guin
	👻 8:56am WR: Did not know that Nik Lucas was initially and primarily a guitarist.
	8:58am MHLee: He's pretty good in 1969
	8:59am Jan Turkenburg: I enjoyed it. Thank you MHLee!
	8:59am MHLee: Thanks, everyone!
	👻 9:02am WR: Thank you, will listen to it from the beginning later.
	👻 10:08am WR: Another song that Tiny Tim and David Bowie had in common was "I Got You Babe". Bowie performed it as as duet with Marianne Faithful on his 1980 Floor Show TV special which I saw when broadcast in 1973 and there were audio and video recordings circulating.
	👻 10:09am WR: But do agree that the Biff Rose song is done well by Bowie.
