Thank you James for making it possible for me to enjoy the greatest jazz band around. And many thanks to TS for continuing to make great music. God bless you all!
Gotta admit, this is pretty enjoyable music, so much so that I finally bought a couple albums. Drove into town with them playing on the car radio...hard to drive with that toe tapping music! Thanks, Tubby Skinny!
@@JiveDadson as has been noted, there's probably a political reason behind this. The mayor has to know full well that the public don't like what he's doing.
@@JiveDadson er yes, I meant to look that up. I saw the mayor was called Latoya, and took that to be a woman's name. When I made that last comment, I'd forgotten anyway. So is the mayor male or female?
Warms my heart.....been awhile since I had my Tuba Skinny fix....the soprano sax player looked like the road cone stool wasn't the most comfortable 3 legged stool around...get that guitarist a vocal mike!
Friend James:I want to thank you for your videos and comments as they are the only way to " get closer" to the band and it's " environment" it is impossible for me get to NOLA although my heart is here, thank you for your time:from Argentina at the end of the world greeting
No exaggeration. It's not such an "end of the world" after all Some have further to go. Plus a big pond to cross. Greetings from a big TS fan as well😃😉
@@misfozje3434 ok we say "end of the world" because of the " global location" Argentina y Chile are sister countries in South América: thank you for your time:we will continue to enjoy TS (from down here) hug

Magnificent interpretation of this band always with those sounds of the 20-30s full of magic joy and desire to dance, continues to record and upload greetings from Palmira Valle del Cauca, Colombia
Many thanks as ever, James. I wonder how many 12-bar tunes they have in their repertoire. About 40, I guess. They play this one in E flat, which seems to be a key Greg is very comfortable with. For example, within a few days recently, they twice played the 12-bar 'You Gotta Give Me Some' - in E flat in New Orleans with Greg singing and then in Switzerland but this time in B flat with Erika providing the vocal.
Thank you James for another busking video. The sound is brilliant in my opinion. I am very impressed because it is a busking performance with all street noise. The soprano sax player did a great job too. Craig invited him playing with the band. I like the situation when guests come to the band playing with them. I remember me the trombone player at the Starlight Lounge in 2020. I mean the Savoy Blues video you have filmed there. Best wishes and Happy Easter. Dave
Sounds the same chord sequence as “It’s tight like that “ song, but here “I’m travellin home” and the guest welcomed with no jealous fuss as happens with unfriendly bands !
It's a Mississippi Sheiks tune with the melody of Papa Charlie Jackson's "Shake That Thing." (I wonder if a lawsuit was involved at the time.) Great, strong lead horn by Shaye, solid, authentic pocket by the rhythm section, nice solos with Craig hittin' the blue notes and concluding with that smokin' run through the registers. I'd like to hear the sax guy on alto, Craig too doubling on it too. He was quite good on it on some earlier TS vids.
James, as always great. My only regret is that I could not go to Switzerland even though it is less than 1000 kilometers. And there was such an opportunity...eh, life🙄
Erika has been in Bern Switzerland from April 12----16 performing with Tuba Skinny. She usually rejoins the band for tours and festivals. She now lives in Asheville N.C.
@@brendamello2202 Saw an interview with her on an Asheville NC public radio station on RUclips. She's raising their baby and working on her country music, too. Asheville's gain, but still touring some with TS. Hope to catch a show of hers here, since I am just 4 hours from Asheville.
@@ZOOTSUITBEATNICK1 good Lord-what a thought-maybe there's a "major contributor" who doesn't want to stop the traffic. Ha ha, no, is that possible? No of course not, silly me.
@@ZOOTSUITBEATNICK1 it was just my way of saying, I've never seen it. Maybe I'm over the top, but - now the Trumpers are seemingly supporting Putin. China purports to be Communist but is not. It's getting close to having three extreme right wing superpowers. And Boris's tiddly little country, my homeland, is doing its best to follow suit, thanks to the stupidity of voters. Losing the right to play in Royal Street is a drop in the ocean.
@@ZOOTSUITBEATNICK1 I've been getting increasingly morbid lately and trying to shut out life with TS, the Ronettes, Hank, you know, people like that. But reality starts to intrude when one of your favourite bands starts getting busted.
I started cringing when the cone disapeared into oblivion. I don't think this band knows how naturally funny they can be. Greatest musicians in the world and so non chalant. Shaye is precious, the rapture may be happening and she just continues to play as the Hurricanes, Tornados, Earthquakes, Frogs, Boils, Blood in the miissiissiipii, Locusts, etc. are happening all around her, She is the greatest, I love this group.
For me, Dixieland is the only kind of music where a clarinet sounds good. Maybe in classical music but they are often lost in all the other goings on. I know some people are going to talk about big band and Bennie Goodman and I shan't criticize you if you like it but, again I say for me, it just sounds dorky.
Loved the sax player's wedgie seat.😂And he really crushed it.🤣
How could ya not like that.
Thank you James for making it possible for me to enjoy the greatest jazz band around. And many thanks to TS for continuing to make great music. God bless you all!
Is this how Tuba Skinny holds auditions, show up and see if you can do it? Takes some courage to play with these guys. Wonderful
A great song played as well as always. I much like the addition of the sax player. He fits.
The World is visiting and viewing this fine band. We don’t like the covid police or fun police. Music is family!
Give that man a chair 🪑 the cone just won’t do
I played sax for 40 years, but not once on a traffic cone.
😃
I think it’s wonderful how the sap ramp sax player was welcomed into the group.
What fun! I've found a new u-tube addiction.
Gotta admit, this is pretty enjoyable music, so much so that I finally bought a couple albums. Drove into town with them playing on the car radio...hard to drive with that toe tapping music! Thanks, Tubby Skinny!
Tuba Skinny Tieneeee Qué Continuar!!!!!!!!!7
Best foot stomping band in the world! You bring happiness to the soul. Thanks to all the great musicians.
Love it to death! Wake up, Nawlinz ~ Tuba Skinny is the best ambassador this city has ever known! 🎼🎹🎺🎷🎸🪕🎤🎼
my heart is happy every time i hear Tuba Skinny. Pure joy coming out the 2nd best city in the world..😎
The city needs to paint a jazz line on the road. Gold color with bars and notes. Everybody jams behind the jazz line.
The city needs to honor the ordinance that keeps motor vehicles off of Royal during busking hours.

You guys Rock your what Great jazz is about . Keep up the great Music and Videos .👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Thank you James, all the way from Mumbai, India . I have been following TUBA SKINNY for some time now. I miss their female singer.
Fantastic! What a joy TS is! Thanks for the video.
What a joyful sound. Love Tuba Skinny
Sempre um som agradável aos ouvidos esse tirado por essa banda querida chamada TUBA SKINNY.
That's a great little tune.
TS killed it for sure.
Would be hard to sit still and listen to this one.
Thanks James and Take Care.
What about sitting on a traffic cone and playing?
@@anthonybarrett2342 I believe that calls for some special training and a whole lot of nerve.
Warms my heart.....been awhile since I had my Tuba Skinny fix....the soprano sax player looked like the road cone stool wasn't the most comfortable 3 legged stool around...get that guitarist a vocal mike!
Gotta get my hit of Tuba Skinny
Really great sound! And the cone chair was some drama.

That clarinet though!

I love to watch this band interact with one another
This is how I like T/S no mikes just pure music & verse.
Super music!!!
You are the best in the West!

I’ll be in New Orleans this week.
Tell me they’ll be there too!

You have a good memory Davee!
I thought I was back on the ol Bayou New Orleans!
No sound like Tuba Skinny live on Royal St. Thanks for sharing and Happy Easter to you and yours James!
And Happy Easter to you and your family Mark.
Regards from Brazil!
supper love
Brian didn't look very comfortable sitting on that traffic cone. It didn't affect his playing, I'm pleased to say.
Sounds the same chord sequence as “It’s tight like that “ song, but here “I’m travellin home” and the guest welcomed with no jealous fuss as happens with unfriendly bands !

Mamma don't allow no traffic cone sax players 'round here
Where does the cone go at 1:25????

Brian Eastwood is on soprano sax.
