A beautiful LOVE-CALL ❤
I love to hear Erika sing while Shaye plays the cornet softly in the background. 😊
Great work ! Tuba Skinny is top ! (y)
Thanks, kassiniru. 'I Need You By My Side' was composed by Hudson Whittaker ('Tampa Red') in 1936. It was recorded by him and also by Merline Johnson. As you can hear, it is a short 16-bar [8 + 8] tune, beautiful in its simplicity of melody and chord progression - the Magnolia Chord Progression: I - I7 - IV - IVm. Tuba Skinny play it in the key of G (as they do with several of the tunes in their repertoire). Most traditional jazz bands hardly play anything in G; and would have transposed this one into the 'easier' key of F (the key in which Merline Johnson recorded it). The original Tampa Red recording is lower still - in E flat.
Just beautiful! Love Erika Lewis' vocals and this whole band.
Thank you kassiniru for this beautiful video! Erika Lewis, is at the microphone, Tuba Skinny Band is ready to play, and the audience is ready to hear the best New Orleans blues vocalist, Erika Lewis, and the best New Orleans blues band, Tuba Skinny, create the most creative sound to bless the music world! "I Need You By My Side." 1000 stars!!!!
Dear Skinnies, from a seemingly simple song you can do a great thing. You can arouse feelings for listeners. Glory be to You!

Wie genau sie sich zuhören und abstimmen, das ist ganz großes Kino, ganz großes. Jeder der Musiker ist für sich ein ganz großer seiner Art. Ich liebe diese Truppe. In der Besetzung ist sie unschlagbar.
How exactly they listen and vote, that's a big movie, really big. Each of the musicians is a very big one of its kind. I love this troupe. In the cast it is unbeatable.
Fans of the band often learn that some concerts produce many exceptionally good videos. Many factors are at play. The recordings of Tuba Skinny made by kassiniru at Dendermonde are remarkably good from every point of view. What a lovely gift for us that is!
THEY ARE CLASSIC !
The treasure trove of Tuba Skinny numbers coming from this EU tour is fantastic, TS’s repertoire is enormous and the arrangements are wonderful. A compellation CD of some of numbers from this tour would be very welcome. To Kassiniru and the other You Tubers uploading these videos Thank You
You can buy the CD from their website. The copy is forbidden!
No one prevents you from capturing the sound of the videos for your personal use! Especially for songs that are not recorded on one of their CDs (which, anyway, you should have when you're a real TS fan).
Mr.KASSINIRU,SORRY,BUT MY ENGLISH HIS VERY BAD.-I SPIKE ''SPANISH'' AND LOVE THE MUSIC,VERY MUCH.-THANKS.-
Thank you for sharing, love anything they do..
Man, TubaS it doesn't matter where I am or what's going on around me, TubaS never fails to transport me to a whole different universe.
Love Erika's voice!
this is that real down south cajun style jazz! Oh and im in love with the female singer. Let me serenade her with my Country Guitar pickin, while we be sipping on some sweet tea and she'll fall harder than a mud bug in a fryer!
Dream on then get in line!
Thanks very much for this, kassiniru, and for filming it so well. It's a new song to me. I have never heard the original recording from about 1937 by Merline Johnson - and I bet that goes for most people alive today. What is clear is that it's a 16-bar song (8 + 8) that Erika sings in the key of G and that harmonically and melodically it has much in common with the first 16 bars of the 1917 pop song 'Girl of My Dreams'.
Pops Coffee, thank you for the compliment and for the comment. The song is new to me too, but Tuba Skinny is very good at announcing the tunes, so that I only had to figure out how to spell Merline. Then I got some matches on Google.
Thank you and well done, kassiniru. I find it necessary to consult Mr. Google a great deal in trying to learn about this old music. For example, he has helped me discover that Merline Johnson also recorded 'Sold It To The Devil', 'Running Down My Man' and 'Got a Mind To Ramble' - all of which are part of Tuba Skinny's repertoire. Somebody in Tuba Skinny (?Erika) must have a collection of Merline's recordings.
Pops Coffee
This is a very sensitive moving song of TS.
Pops: do you know the lyrics?
Rgds, Jan, the Netherlands
I don't know the lyrics, but if you can't get them from this video they are very clear on the Merline Johnson original: ruclips.net/video/SHArrhi8w28/видео.html
@@PopsCoffee No wonder Erika & the band wanted to cover it ! Evocative, intriguing blues ...
Lovely, so good!!!!
Det er et helt fantastisk smukt nummer, oh so good!!
What a great group playing great music and they all look mighty fine and I am enjoying it
Exquisite ... but it leaves me aching and sobbing .........................
This could be a hit single.
Dear Gregory (guitar), Your wonderful improvisation was very romantic! Are you in love?
Damn i would like to see an answer from Gregory ;P
Fantastisk nummer så brilliant!!!

OMG, that is so good!
Li amo moltissimo.
Salvatore Giannacco 09
Indeed, great recording.
Due to the mixer the microphone balance is again out of order.
Erika is the best
Why do we like Erika&Tuba Skinny VM?
Give me more Sousaphone, please !
👍🙏
Sono fantastici
are the lyrics anywahere on this one
Erika Lewis! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nuff said...😊
Is this what they do for a living or do they have other jobs?
What a pity that Erika made herself that totoo, her skin was white and clean, and honest. Too bad she decided that, It doesn't make her any favor.
