This episode has audio in it taken during our Mousefest trip of 2007. First there's a two number portion of a set from Piano Man Jim, A Set of the West Coast Holiday Radio Broadcast from the Adventurers Club, The Harlem gospel Chior, The Notorious Banjo Brothers and Bob, Piano Man Mark, the Dapper Dans, and the Main Street Philharmonic. Additionally there are lots of little "cameo appearances" by Mousefest attendees I got to talk with.

notes

Piano Man Jim

(from Wikipedia)Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas" is a Christmas song introduced by Judy Garland in the 1944 MGM musical Meet Me In St. Louis. Frank Sinatra later recorded a modified version, which has become more common than the original. The song was credited to Hugh Martin and Ralph Blane, although during a December 21, 2006 NPR interview with Martin, he said Blane encouraged him to write the song, but did not have anything more to do with writing it.

Notorious Banjo Brothers and Bob

Although the Notorious Banjo Brothers and Bob play thier sets in Frontierland they often come out from just beside the Diamond Horseshoe, the Horseshoe though seemingly a Frontier saloon is actually in a building with a bit of a less rough-hewn finish and the Liberty Square Background music plays there. When the Notorious Banjo Brothers and Bob come out you can actually hear the banjo being stummed to the tune of the Liberty Square song just ending right before the piping of Yankee Doodle begin
