"Beautiful Dreamer" - Tuba Skinny

[@stevegrooms1142]

Isn't it interesting how a Tuba Skinny performance of a stale old tune can draw tears? The TS treatment of this familiar tune is simultaneously respectful and inventive. The solos by Shaye and Todd are as moving as they are intelligent.

Tuba Skinny constantly proves there is still love in the world, they pour it out everytime ... Love 'em ... Mikie

Very nice. Maybe one day I'll be lucky enough to hear the live.

[@daveyewart4289]

very clever . never thought this tune from so long ago could be played hot like that

[@gordonbainbridge8371]

This is one of Todd's most melodic solos, and it's fun to hear him invent the sections and find closes for them and transitions to the next melodic fragment.

Gold.

[@painterluke]

hope they never decide to get dressed up in a gown and tuxedos. very iconic just as they are. the clarinet player reminds me of a Norman Rockwell character. they make music, not noise.

Actually he looks a lot like NR himself. I first thought of the dad in tv Dennis the Menace :)

[@alfredkamphuis8933]

My favorite music since I was a teenager

[@stevegrooms1142]

It's easy to imagine Barnabus in a NR painting, perhaps as an auto mechanic. But the one TS player you for sure would not see in a NR painting is Shaye. She's part of a world Rockwell never knew.

[@DanPurdy1]

Stephen Foster’s most beautiful song. My Father could whistle it so well. Great lyrics, great tune.

[@87sailorgirl]

Fine, strong playing. Shaye clearly has a cold ... but we knew she's a trooper.

[@gordonbainbridge8371]

Now that's an arresting comment! At least we know she's a trouper.

Ah, but her solo starting about 2:23 makes up for any imperfections.

Shaye, plays a flat note!! How dare you sir, i symbolically slap you in the kisser with a gauntlet, & challenge you to a duel. 5 am tomorrow, don’t be late

[@AdventuresinaMorris]

@@JamesSterling I'd say very slightly fluffed, rather than flat. A very minor imperfection.

[@PopsCoffee]

@@AdventuresinaMorris It seems to me that this happened: she played the concert Eb (1st valve) and the next note is concert D (open), but as she lifted her finger off the first valve, the valve stuck for a fraction of a second before moving to the 'open' position. No fault of Shaye, but the valve probably needed a little oil. Also, as you say this was the first tune of the day, it's possible the valves (on this very old cornet) had not completely loosened up.

[@AdventuresinaMorris]

@@PopsCoffee yes, that makes sense.

[@robbinsonhatol7328]

... or maybe she just hit a bad note ..... 😛

[@christopherbird1481]

i was taught not to flinch or show an expression if you played a incorrect (bum) note. especially in public, act natural regardless.

[@iLLuSiiioNz]

Get off that bad note and onto a more tastier one 😎

[@sandragriffiths9692]

[@johnking2551]

@@robbinsonhatol7328 If you insist on a mistake, then please note that the first note is higher than the "correct" note. So maybe she hit a sharp note?

[@robbinsonhatol7328]

...poor choice of words on my part; by flat I meant off key note... yes it is higher than the correct note .... 😕
