Favoriting Merrily We Roll Along with MHLee: Playlist from April 28, 2023 Favoriting

MHLee's avatar View MHLee's profile Favoriting

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.

Debated playing this one because it's not that humorous but it's so catchy. Always like it.

or is it 'from' ?
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:14am

I'd probably say from. It's quite rainy and spring like here.

Wow! Never knew Billy Murray sang the blues!
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:35am

Not to be confused with Bill Murray who is not to be confused with Steve Martin who just plays banjo these days.

I saw that picture in this American Roots book I’m reading.
Avatar Swag For Life Member 8:43am
MHLee:

Sounds like a fascinating book. I've got a pretty good knowledge of this stuff.... also had a tendency to go to the real old pre-Bluegrass stuff back when I was in a bluegrass band.

↳ MHLee @8:43
Really cool! It’s a very fascinating book! I’m researching a lot of old music for this project I’m working on

I have a paper on bluegrass somewhere.
