'Coquette' was composed in 1928 by Carmen Lombardo and Johnny Green, with lyrics by Gus Kahn.
The book 'Tuba Skinny and Shaye Cohn' by Pops Coffee is available from Amazon, both as a paperback and an eBook.
I do enjoy your talks Pops. I find them to be very knowledgeable, articulate and enjoyable. You speak so concisely and clearly. Mabe you were a teacher in a former life.
I don’t know.
Cheers

Hello Ivan I am happy you have created new video.
All your knowledge about Tuba Skinny and about their music they play is so interesting.
Your books are a great inspiration for me.
Do you have planned any new videos from the series: guessing a Tuba Skinny tune?
I like this series so much.
Best wishes to you. Stay safe, healthy and happy.

Sorry I can't do much now because Mrs. Pops is very ill and I am her full-time carer. This video was made long before she became so ill.
Sterkte voor jou en je vrouw pops.
@@jos1921 Bedankt.
Thank you for your musician’s perspective of this great performance. An alternate version of ‘Croquette’ by Tuba Skinny has been posted by John Dodds from their concert in Philadelphia on Aug. 30 of 2019. It is tough to imagine a more perfect rendition!
What was the first instrument that you learned to play and how old were you?
Ah, you make me reflect on a regret running through my life! How different it might have been if I had taken a greater interest in music before I was about 45 years old. Just after the Second World War, when I was 8, my parents forced me to have piano lessons. I hated the lessons and especially practising scales, which was almost the only thing my teacher instructed me to do. So after a few months, they allowed me to give up. However, in old age I bought a Yamaha keyboard and I now enjoy - without a teacher - trying to learn simple tunes and to appreciate and study the chord progressions that support the melodies. Also in my later years (1980 - 2020), I struggled to learn to play the trumpet and cornet, self-taught but always glad to learn from books, from musicians and from the internet. Alas, I haven't mastered any instrument, but I have derived much pleasure from trying.
@@PopsCoffee I cannot remember where I read it but someone said that you do not discover music it is music that discovers you. Music was not ready for you when you were eight but it came back for you forty years later when the danger of your becoming a hard-drinking young jazz musician was past. Regrettez rien.
Thanks for presenting that positive viewpoint.
