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.

An interesting book I got recently is: "Jelly Roll Blues: Censored Songs & Hidden Histories" by Elijah Wald. It touches a variety of related topics but is mostly focused on the Jelly Roll Morton Library of Congress recording to get a view of how African American music was both censured by both folklorists and record companies for general public consumption and also how the fact that the entertainers and the recording people were from such different worlds that often the entertainers self-censured themselves.
It also touches a little on how traditions that were mostly oral were changed by the coming of recording.
