Local musicians in New Orleans, including Tuba Skinny, have not been able to busk on Royal Street since 2019. Busking is a long time tradition in New Orleans. And it is important to the culture of the city and is important to the bands to expose their talent to the public and tips earned on the street are a significant source of income. Please sign the petition below to encourage the City of New Orleans to return Royal Street to a pedestrian mall open to busking musicians. www.change.org/p/honor-the-new-orleans-municipal-code-and-reinstate-the-royal-st-pedestrian-mall?signed=true
Very entertaining to follow Barnabus through any tune.......He comes up with great fills and melodies as the three of them are playing.....The same can be said for Todd.......Tightest band out there........................
Amherst! One of my greatest regrets as I approach the end of my ninth decade, is that in my whole life I have never visited the Emily Dickinson Museum.
@@PopsCoffee Well, first, congratulations on your longevity. I just had a close encounter (two weeks post heart attack), but will recover 100% thankfully. I grew up here and as a child recall reading Emily Dickinson in the living room with my mother. Hers were the first poems I memorized (“Heart, we will forget him . . . .”). They recently renovated the Museum. I need to go again this spring. Have you looked on line to see if there is a virtual tour? If not, let me know and I will see if I can walk through it taking a video. Lol. Really. Be well. Michael
Thanks; and I'm so pleased you share my enthusiasm for Emily. I first discovered her poetry in my local library in about 1955 and have been an admirer ever since. There are some good 'Homestead' videos on RUclips but if you ever get round to making another, I would certainly watch it. Best wishes for continuing good health.
Many thanks, James. What a lovely comfortable tempo for this tune, which is sometimes rushed by other bands. A fine performance all round, with the highlights for me being the unpretentious solos on Theme C (the Trio) by Craig at 01:46 and Barnabus at 02:06, Max at 03:17 and Todd at 03:39, and especially Shaye at 02:31. By the way, the 'Ole Miss' of the title was the train that used to run from Memphis to New Orleans. Tuba Skinny, like most bands, play only Theme A (at 00:02 - 00:31 and again [following the usual hand-on-head signal from Shaye] at 01:17 - 01:45) and at all other times Theme C (The Trio), missing out Theme B. And they stick in the key of F, whereas the original sheet music includes a Theme B and a key change into B flat for the Trio. You, James, made a video of The Shotgun Jazz Band playing the full version with all three themes: ruclips.net/video/0LQ0J5UwK78/видео.html ; and The Shotgun Jazz Band included this tune in the 'correct' version on their CD (entitled 'Stepping on The Gas') early in 2017. Anyone wishing to see the original sheet music can find it at playing-traditional-jazz.blogspot.com/2017/04/post-498-ole-miss-rag-played-properly.html .
A couple of years ago they came to Pismo and Eagle Rock out here in So. Cal Raj. Just keep an eye on their concert schedule. You'll get to see them. They are great to see live.
I wish I knew more about all of this . . . I only know I love it. But, I am so curious to know what “liberties” the musicians take when covering another artist . . . Or what all Shaye’s nods and glances mean. Etc.
Tuba Skinny is usually pretty true to the original artists version when they cover a song. When Shaye leans, points, or nods to a particular player she is signaling for him to take the next solo. As for the other various signals Shaye uses see this: playing-traditional-jazz.blogspot.com/search?q=shaye+cohn+signals
@@oldguy9078 Those who are from the South and football fans, yes. But my RUclips viewer demographic is from all over the world and all 50 states so those folks would have no clue. (Of course I know!)
Jason is now a full time carpenter and is no longer a member of the band. Robin says he may make the occasional appearance with the band when his schedule allows. Hopefully he will make an appearance during this years French Quarter Festival.
@@JamesSterling t il not upside down but right to left La clarinet est à droite de Shaye et le trombone à gauche normalement. Là c'est dans l autre sens Mais la musique est toujours aussi bonne !
@@jean-francoisbriens6769 If you notice in my other videos from The Maison that is the seating arrangement they always use there. I am not sure why. When at the d.b.a. and other venues Craig and Barnabus switch positions.
Fine performance as usual, but being a Gator fan, I could never root for Ole Miss. Maybe they can do a peppy arrangement of "We Are the Boys from Old Florida." I know Alligator Crawl is also in their book.
nunca supimos de shaye soltera casada? los demás como hacen para estar juntos tanto tiempo ? Jason y Erika donde están? 12 años escuchándolos no se vayan a disolver antes de yo partir d este mundo.
Jason is now a full time carpenter and is no longer with the band. Erika moved from New Orleans about 6 years ago and now lives in Asheville, North Carolina and is raising her 5 year old son. She has been recording original country songs she composed. Erika still is a member of the band but only appears on special occasions. Shaye keeps her private life just that, private.

Recording my thanks again , not only for this but all that you do. Your efforts give me great pleasure. A fan from England.
I concur . . . a fan from Amherst, Massachusetts who spent 1990-91 in NOLA.

@@PopsCoffee Hello Again Pops, Just read an article Mr. Sterling recommended. One of yours. Thank you. It was enlightening.

There are some good 'Homestead' videos on RUclips but if you ever get round to making another, I would certainly watch it. Best wishes for continuing good health.
Still my favorite music and band! It seems to be cold in New Orleans. Perhaps I never will meet this band live but so the clip is much appreciated.

Mille merci James
Thank You for this lovely art. I love it so much. Donald Fransson, Sweden
Simply love this a most amazing band. Wish they would come to San Diego. Thanks for recording and sharing.
A couple of years ago they came to Pismo and Eagle Rock out here in So. Cal Raj. Just keep an eye on their concert schedule. You'll get to see them. They are great to see live.
@@MarkBlairs-Stooge-Channel Thanks, Mark, will do.
You guys all bundled up Sounds great as usual
Great musicians!
Many thanks James! Seems to have been pretty cold in New Orleans ... ;-)
Just a bit. The double door just to the left of the stage was open making it pretty chilly for the band.
@@JamesSterling Yes, but it doesn't seem to affect their enthusiasm and mood... great as always... BRAVO!
Being from way up north, I did smile when I saw the winter hats.
First I’ve heard this tune played byTS. Love it and love TS. Thanks for posting James!
Brilliant thanks James, love it.
Спасибо, James! Ваши записи всегда хорошего качества. Радует, что свет, идущий от Tuba Skinny, радует и Вас и меня.
Love to see TS in winter gear, and thank you for recording this tune I'd never heard before 💜
At last, music again, instead of noise.
Thanks again really appreciate your videos. 😍🇬🇧
Good video and great audio, James. As close to having been there as possible. Great tune, of course.
Thanks for sharing this. Shaye, Craig and Barnabus are the best ❤️
Muito bom ótimo , queria ouvir a música Blue moon Kentucky.

I grew up listening to the version by Armstrong on the old vinyl "Louis Armstrong Plays WC Handy." This is a completely different take on the piece.
Teşekkür ederim.
Great sound as e er from tuba skinny but where is Erika these days she adds a great amount of versatility to the band with her unique voics
She's on tour or festivals with the band only since a few years. She didn't life in New Orleans.
I'm sure this is the way they used to record records in the early years. Everything was recorded live.
somebody knows what gear (cornet & mouthpiece) is Shaye Cohn using? She's amazing!!!
Look at the thumbnail and tell us what you see.
I wish I knew more about all of this . . . I only know I love it. But, I am so curious to know what “liberties” the musicians take when covering another artist . . . Or what all Shaye’s nods and glances mean. Etc.

@@JamesSterling this is fantastic. Thank you!!
Where has Erika gone? Another fan from the uk. Hope she hasn't left and if she is poorly then, get well soon.
Отлично! Но есть вопрос почему не выступает Эрика с Tuba Skinny ёе так не хватает.
Hotty Toddy !!!!!!!
I'll bet there are only a hand full of people on this channel who know what that means! Of course if you are from Mississippi you will know.
@@JamesSterling James I would be willing to bet there are more than a handful of people that know what Hotty Toddy is.
@@oldguy9078 Those who are from the South and football fans, yes. But my RUclips viewer demographic is from all over the world and all 50 states so those folks would have no clue. (Of course I know!)
Well done James, another fine recording.
What’s happened to Jason Lawrence?
Jason is now a full time carpenter and is no longer a member of the band. Robin says he may make the occasional appearance with the band when his schedule allows. Hopefully he will make an appearance during this years French Quarter Festival.
Thanks for that James 👍
@@royboyjazz9001 You are welcome
Only body heat and the music is available to keep this venue heated it seems.
Hello from Lyon (France) Merci James pour toute cette "bonne" musique! Mais il me semble que les musiciens sont "à l'envers"
If they really appear upside down (and my translation is accurate) you really have a problem with the device that you are watching on.
@@JamesSterling t il not upside down but right to left
La clarinet est à droite de Shaye et le trombone à gauche normalement.
Là c'est dans l autre sens
Mais la musique est toujours aussi bonne !

Well since you are a Tuba Skinny fan you are forgiven your unfortunate choice of rooting for the Gators!
