Sellin' Jelly - The Vaudevillian

- Sweet & sassy Norah Spades & the very fine fellow Jitterbug James make up the 1930's ragtime blues duo, The Vaudevillian.
In 2023 they were on the Mariposa Folk Festival lineup in Orillia, Ontario, Canada.
This video taken by Hoff Steady/Slang Media/Brad Hofstede.
The Vaudevillian toured to Orillia in their old 1989 34 foot 454 Big Bloc Engine RV, dubbed "Norah's Ark," as Norah is the captain and all of their pets tour with them.
Arriving to Mariposa around 9pm after rubber tramping many hours on the winding road, the one way dirt path on the festival grounds were no longer resembling a dirt road, but rather mud pits after a storm had come earlier in the day.
Much too far along the 1 way congested road to try and turn back, the Ark became stuck halfway in the very middle, sinking deep into the mud with the vessel weighing over 14,000lbs. Over 50 vehicles, RVs and trailers were stuck, though the Ark was the most stuck of all with the frame deep into the mud. #1 baby!
After many attempts with rubber grips to get out were made, Norah made the call that the RV was just getting deeper & deeper into the mud, gas tank and all now. With thousands of campers surrounding them as well as all roads covered in deep mud, CAA wouldn't be able to come rescue them until the festival was over.
As such, Jitterbug James went and found a sign that said- "Large RV Parking," and placed it in front of the ark. That will do.
Greg- the camping director was a gem and brought in gravel to make the road wider.
Dozens of people offered to help them by towing out the RV with their pickup trucks, but The Vaudevillian didn't feel like tearing their hitch or bumper off their truck would be that swell. So many people repetitively offered to push out the RV with their brute strength, though 14,000lbs is quite alot. With so many offers, The Vaudevillian decided to put up signs all along the RV such as;
"1-800- Hows My Driving?"
"Follow The Vaudevillian on social media to see if we ever get out or if we have to live here forever,"
As well as,
"Yes we are stuck, join the push-out party on Sunday at 6pm" and surprised all of the wonderful folks who came out to help with a secret, private concert at the RV!
This video captures some of these moments, as well as performing on stage, hosting their interactive washboard workshops and interactive musical spoon workshops, performing along Westfalia Way as well as playing a tune in a canoe.
The Vaudevillian are full time musicians, and were living in their tour Ark for 2 years at that time, traveling along the road, festival to festival, performing at over 200+ shows a year.
Four Days after getting stuck, 2 CAA transport tow trucks rescued them, and they were back on the road heading South, another day on the road.
After such a rave audience response, Mariposa Folk Festival's President reached out to them right after the festival booking them to return for their 2nd year in a row at the legendary Mariposa Folk Festival 2024.
Hoping for dry ground this time around, though we'll see how the dice roll.
Keep an eye out for The Vaudevillian at a festival near you!

Ya won't ever need a psychiatrist if you keep this music in your heart. Thanks y'all.
That's exactly what I was thinking.
You're confusing not needing a psychiatrist with being beyond psychiatric help.
That's if you have Jesus Christ, but I getcha😅
@@PridelessChickz yes ma'am.❤️
Truer than you know
This is Betty Boop meets Cab Calloway.
this is too accurate and why I love them
No shade, they are just missing the insane dance moves of the young Cab Calloway.
SPOT ON!!!!
Lol, I was thinking Bosco & Honey!
Reminiscent of songs like "Makin' Whoopie" and "Banana Oil" from the speakeasy 30's, love that they are bringing this era back to life!
Well worth paying the toll to see that Jelly Roll video again..! 👍🎸
Wow, Blind Willie McTell, and 1920 cartoons wrapped into one happy style. Luv Em!
Love it! Shades of R.Crumb & The Cheap Suit Serenaders
Ahh-- A reference to R. Crumb and the "Boys"!!! (Dodge, Crumb, and Armstrong!!!) "Freddy" should be playin the washtub on this great tune!!!!!
They should do Wisconsin Wiggles.
Great song and video. Looks like a fun festival.
Your music is always so good!! Keep it up!! 🎵 🎶 🎵
Looks like fun way to live if you're young and healthy. Enjoy everything you can while you can.:)
I don't think I could listen to this music daily, or more than a song or two in a row. But I am incredibly grateful you both are out there playing it every single day. The world is one big pot of stew and you two are a rare spice. Thank you for what you do, and do not ever change. Cheers!
Hope ya'll enjoy a long happy life together bringing joy to peoples hearts !.

Beautiful video once again. Great talent by the imagers. They’re doing a great job portraying you. Bring some of that magic to the next album cover. Superb!
Thank you so much. Our next record, is coming out in October and the cover was shot by Dana Brushette photography and really captures us so well, better than ever.
Can’t wait to release it 🥰🥰
@@TheVaudevillianMusic I’m looking forward to that as well as checking out all your releases. You have a really nice, unique sound and presence that is a wonder to behold. 🦢🌞🦢
This is so beautiful. Thankyou.
Oh naughty naughty. I love it.
Where do you guys originally hail from? I was last in Orillia in the fall of 1998 when I was attempting to go to college (Georgian) for the first time in my life at the age of 37 but was met with a mental health issue that caused me to go manic within a week and landed me in hospital a full ten days after beginning school. An interesting experience in retrospect but not one I would ever want to repeat. Currently 63 and moving on enjoying good music.
Great videography and editing, and also, music!
Yeah Root!! Glad to see things are doing well for you. Best of luck!! - Jesse BCP
This is the vibe I bring to the party hey yall happy to be here

Wow. ❤❤❤
You kids are FUN!...... subbed/following
lovely
Sweet Norah Spades is a cute baby! ❤❤❤❤❤
And she’s a cutie.
*blushes*
I love your guitar style. It's just the way it should be - emotional, relaxed, studied, and never too perfect. There's so much unnatural, quantized, metronome-perfect, pitch-perfect, cold guitar playing today. It's all made in the DAW, and it all sounds robotic. Your playing reminds me so much of Blind Willie McTell, Leadbelly and other musicians of the time - masterful, yet also natural, raw, ever so slightly - and ever so tastefully - out of tune or out of rhythm in all the right places. It's something that Neil Young came to really embrace in his playing, and that grunge musicians learned so well from him. Nick Cave is also very good at this, but in singing. It's like the difference between realism and impressionism in the visual arts.
Sorry for nerding out for a bit. But I'm so glad and delighted to hear your music. Thank you! More original material, and more covers, please! Lots of love!
What a lovely comment, thank you kindly we totally agree with you and adore Blind Willie & Kate McTell
@@TheVaudevillianMusic
Very cool

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Canadians...yep..all makes sense now
What fun, ‘eh?
Love it. I'm sure you've been told this, but she sounds a lot like Olive Oil from the original Popeye cartoons.
Жизнь в дороге это романтика для молодых. После 40 это бродяжничество. А песня хорошая 😂
🥰🥰😂😂
I love your music, thank you for the lot of songs. One question: what kazoo do you use?
Hello again, I ask for the kazoo because I play myself one. Your's must be a different one, and I will build me such a cool construction like you play, so please let know where I can buy one. (Sorry for my bad english...)
¿Se oye un Kazoo? Es muy característico en algunas formaciones musicales del Carnaval de Cádiz, España... La ciudad más antigua de Occidente que todavía funciona.
For ol gal she would have several mics.
One of them would have a strong lowpass on the bell
When you come to Thailand.
I hope and pray to find a beautiful woman like you for my wife someday. 😊🥰 You have a luvky man there and I think he knows it.😉
🥰🥰
Please adopt me. I have a gittar. Or at least help me find a washboard wonder woman of my own.
That’s adorable… I’m looking to learn a new instrument 🙋🏼♀️🫶🏽 but not a new lover 😇🎶🎶🎶 you happen to live in Los Angeles ⁉️
You both are very talented. You are a really good player….👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🎸
You guys are extremely entertaining…👏🏻👍🏻
You got a great Rudy valley type voice …👍🏻
And …
Your wife …??? , sounds like …, Either Betty Boop …👍🏻❤️🎵 “ olive oil “ on Popeye cartoons ….😂❤️👍🏻
