How could ya not like that.

Loved the sax player's wedgie seat.😂And he really crushed it.🤣

The World is visiting and viewing this fine band. We don’t like the covid police or fun police. Music is family!

[@mrpual49]

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

[@LouT1501]

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!

The city needs to paint a jazz line on the road. Gold color with bars and notes. Everybody jams behind the jazz line.

[@JiveDadson]

The city needs to honor the ordinance that keeps motor vehicles off of Royal during busking hours.

[@stewartfenton7660]

@@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.

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!

IDOLOSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@PopsCoffee]

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.

[@sokay2laugh512]

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

[@emiliolopezify]

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

[@JamesSterling]

You have a good memory Davee!

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 !

[@howiesmith1504]

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.

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.

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.

[@jerometaperman7102]

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.
