Mousin It Up The podcast of bigBrians Disney Page

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
