Mousin It Up The Podcast Of Bigbrians Disney Page

In this episode we visit the Main street Barbershop, and use that as a springboard to revist various subjects from previous episodes. Show notes may post a bit late as I won't have time to get to them before i leave for Celebration 25. Still feel free to post replies over to the mousin it up section of the forums at www.letstalkaboutdisney.com

In honor of Mexicos Independence Day, September 16, this Episode features TWO sets by the Mariachi Cobre from Epcots Mexico pavilion, this group is one of the largest groups of musicians left at WDW with nearly a dozen perfomers on stage at any given performance. This group was formed in Tuscon Arizona in 1971 so as a group they are older than Epcot center. The sets found in this episode were the last two sets of the day on Saturday June 16, 2007 and the first set was so long there were barely fifteen minutes from the end of that set until the beggining of the next set.   As always more complete show notes can be found on my web site at:   http://www.bigbrian-nc.com/sn2007-24.htm   and discussion of the show can be found in the lets talk about disney forums at:   http://www.letstalkaboutdisney.com/LTADForum/index.php

TWO sets by The Dapper Dans, the Barbershop quartet that performs on Main Street U.S.A. in both Disneyland and the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World, and for this show we have material from both groups. The first set is from the Walt Disney World line up of the Dans and was recorded on Saturday, June 16, 2007, and the second set is from out in Disneyland and was recorded on my trip to Disneyland on the occasion of its' fiftieth anniversary back in 2005.     Full show notes are at http://www.bigbrian-nc.com/sn2007-23.htm and in the forums of http://www.letstalkaboutdisney.com  

This Episode features TWO sets by Mo'rockin,the fantastic band from the Morocco pavilion at Epcot that combines new musical styles with more traditional Moroccan musical sounds to make thier music. Also in this episode, a story about a background music loop song (BGM) that I learned a bit about, a couple of plugs for a few Disney related sites you may enjoy, and an announcement about a new way to send feedback to the show. The sets by Mo-Rockin and the BGM music I mentioned were all recorded Saturday June 16, 2007.   As always full show notes can be found on my site: http://www.bigbrian-nc.com/sn2007-22.htm   We now also have Mousin it up forums thanks to LTAD.com! http://www.letstalkaboutdisney.com/LTADForum/forumdisplay.php?f=64  

This episode features a bit of music from two of Disneylands Piano men, first up is a snippet of a set by piano man Johnny who also appeared way back in episode 2 of the podcast, this set like that one is only a partial, however I follow it up with a nice FULL set by Alan Thompson. once again another episode with no postcard segment just some nice Disneyland Piano music.   As always more complete show notes including images are on my web site at  

Happy Independence day folks, enjoy the Voices of Liberty doing a selection of patriotic songs pulled from several sets recorded during our recent trip, also a nice set by the Spirit of America Fife and Drum Corps.

This Episode is a bit of a sneak preview of some of the sounds to be found over the next few months on this podcast having at least one song each from most of the groups I recorded with the exception of two one I noted in the show, The Spirit of America Fife and Drum Corp, the other omission I realized after closing production of the episode the Main Street Philharmonic. Theres is also a full set by one of the groups as I only had one set by Spelmans Glidje and since it has some sound quality issues I thought it would be better to include it here than to try to make it the centerpiece of a later episode.   full show notes are at : http://www.bigbrian-nc.com/sn2007-19.htm

In this Episode one piece of audio runs for the whole episode (though I talk over it through the quiet parts) this recording of the Disneyland Bands Concert aboard the Mark Twain riverboat was taken on July 15, 2005. This is the last of the three sessions of the Disneyland band that I recorded that trip and also the closest to complete, though even here I didn't get audio of the band coming on stage, so I guess none of the DL Band Concerts I recorded is 100 percent complete, still, this would be the closest, as I'm sure the other sets are missing full songs that were played before I arrived on those occasions.  Also the return of the postcard segment, and some meet reports from some of the Disney events I've atended the past few months.

In this Episode we have Billy Hill and the Hillbilies a sort of comedy bluegrass act that plays in Disneylands Golden Horseshoe saloon, this audio was recorded on July 17, 2005, the 50th anniversary of the opening of Disneyland .

In this Episode we have Space Mountain recorded in WDW's Magic Kingdom, on December 7, 2006, also, audio of the Tomorrowland Speedway bit I've got on my youtube account ( http://www.youtube.com/profile?user=bigbrianDASHncDOTcom), and another ragtime piano set this one was recorded July 17th 2005 (Disneylands 50th Anniversary!), there's also a tiny portion of the audio which I used in the Special Edition I released last week in honor of the 4th anniversary of Tagrel.com (Happy Birthday Tagrel!) http://www.tagrel.com. All the information in the postcard segment was provided by Kevin Hughes whose Postcardguy Antiques Store (featuring many WDW and Disneyland cards) can be found at www.postcardguy.com .     As alway full show notes are on my site with links to the web sites, my pictures, my videos,  a list of songs heard during the episode, and of course there are images of the postcards mentioned in the postcard segment, this episodes notes are at:   http://www.bigbrian-nc.com/sn2007-16.htm   and the overall lin

In this Episode we have several audio bits recorded in the Magic Kingdom, Thursday Dec. 7, 2007, A ride on the Jungle Cruise, A bit of Woody's roundup, a conversation with some Disney fans, Most of a set of Cinderella's Royal Saxaphonists, an update on the contest I'm running, and an update to the Walt Disney World a History in Postcards page on the Kids of the Kingdom.  As always full show notes are on my site at: http://www.bigbrian-nc.com/  this episodes notes page is: http://www.bigbrian-nc.com/sn2007-15.htm

this Episode we have a nice set of (mostly)ragtime from Piano Man Jim, recorded Dec. 10, 2006 in the Magic Kingdom. Also in a first for this site and show a contest. Additionally I mention a bit about the retirement of one of the Voices of Liberty, the Lion Kings touring company plans to return to the Tarheel state and I suggest a time and place for some of us Carolinian Disney fans to get together to Mouse it Up!

Songs by American Vybe, the agony of Recording mishaps, and the joy of having a WDW friend at www.wdw-memories.net, Also in this episode the joy of finding a new issue of the postcard newsletter in my mail box.

Much like episode 10 this episode has audio in it taken during our Honeymoon in 2002, we have sound recorded on the morning of October 31, 2002 on the "Magic Behind Our Steam Trains" tour at the Magic Kingdom, Also a "flood" of 2006 postcards (and a few 2007 related ones), that's actually a bit of a pun, although there are quite a few postcard images on the two pages, the pun comes from the fact that the intro music to the show is performed by a group called the 1937 Flood, not a Disney group, but they do a song about a train that was made a nice intro (anyhow I like it).  http://www.bigbrian-nc.com/trindex.htm#moon   as always full show notes are on my site at: http://www.bigbrian-nc.com/  this episodes notes page is: http://www.bigbrian-nc.com/sn2007-12.htm

This Episode features Christmas music audio from both the Magic Kingdom, and Epcot theme parks of Walt Disney World, all taken from performances by the many live musicians who perform in these parks, while I'd love to g go a round and get music from all the live performers in the park, at least the little bit I have here can give you some idea of some of the places to start listening for live holiday audio if you find yourself in the parks in the Holiday Season. There's audio of the Voices of Liberty, and the Spirit of America Fife and Drum Corp taken during Mousefest 2005. There's also a lot of audio from during the Mousefest Celebration this year (2006). There's music from both of the Main Street pianists, Mark and Jim, also from the Magic Kingdom we have audio from the Frontierland trio known as the Notorious Banjo Brothers and Bob (last heard on this pod cast as the Lone Strangers in the Halloween episode), additionally the group occasionally known as the Fantasyland Woodwind Society plays a few "Holiday"

 This episode we have sound taken in the Land pavilion during our 2002  trip to Walt Disney World, Since the pavilion has changed so much with the addition of Soarin' and removal of Food Rocks, much of the audio of this episode can no longer be heard, making this a sort of Yester"Land" episode with apologies to Werner Weiss.

This episode has some very special audio in it, it was taken during our Honeymoon in 2002, it's posting coincides with the addition of a trip report on my web site, about twenty pages with something like 450 new pictures to the site , http://www.bigbrian-nc.com/trindex.htm#moon all these images were from our Honeymoon trip to WDW in 2002. There are several pieces of audio from that trip that will appear in future episodes of Big Brians Disney Podcast, including two of the absolute best pieces, that are in this episode, which were recorded AT the Halloween Party.  Those pieces are; the Halloween Riverboat Cruise featuring a ghost story delivered by Auntie Bellum and music by the Lone Strangers (The Notorious Banjo and Brothers and Bobs Halloween costumes), and A Diamond Horseshoe Halloween performance with much of the old cast of the Horseshoe, Jingles, Dr. Bill, Professor Terrace, and  special guests the Cadaver Dans (an undead barbershop quartet).
