Tuba Skinny - Too Late

[@robinrapuzzi5580]

This is why we play! For little kids to dance and for people to listen. What a good busk.

[@thomastimlin1724]

This is the great thing you do...not just entertaining the public, but teaching the public casually that there is other music besides what is shoved down their ears and brains by corporate radio playlists, by playing the music and by exposure educating the young and the adults that there is other music besides what record execs want them to hear, to sell advertising time on media. Same for all members of the band who have other music they play and write. You are all amazing how you have endured and made a full life of music for others to discover. Met you Three Oaks MI in Sept last year. I was the former music teacher, fumbling for words I was so starstruck lol..

[@harrymiley3707]

It's not a classic unless the table gets knocked over! (Nice tune, thanks TS & RaoulDuke504.)

[@davidball4706]

love you, man. saw you guys at d.b.a. back around jan.7. my best friend works at BMI in nashville, i told him frottoir is the most fun part of the show (he played drums back when we had a garage band). 45 years later, y'all bring joy to everyone who listens!

[@louyeo6571]

Get that kid to dance class - any dance class - all the dance classes you can find. She has music and rhythm in her bones. What joyousness!

[@anniekirts6621]

Exactly!

[@davidrowley9513]

​@@anniekirts6621That little girl is a joy to watch , she is really into the moment bless her.

[@ghandheysaood2645]

indeed first i thought she was a part of the show lol

[@stewartbrooksmith118]

😂 Shirley who????

[@warrenpuckett4203]

Funny part I had hair like that. Sometime after my 4th birthday it got cut off. Yep got sent to school. Mom kept the hair in a jar for years. By the time I was 20 it was almost black. My dad kept a picture of me in my cousin's dress in his wallet. My aunt said I was a prettier girl than Regina was. Italians are cruel like that.

[@theguyinmaine]

The white haired lady in the gray coat and the little one dancing, decades apart, one coming, one going, both loving the trip. Good music is timeless.

[@Rita-ge6zc]

Warum haben so viele Menschen ein Lächeln auf den Lippen? Herrliche Musik. So sollte unser Leben sein. Danke der Band😊

[@thetowertarot13]

Beautiful 😍

[@sylviacarlson3561]

I love the smile on the older lady. Full of joy...the child's dancing is full of joy. Please don't anyone feel because you are older you are headed for the pasture. There's plenty left in us. Just you wait....

[@MayimHastings]

@@sylviacarlson3561 Amen to that! Never underestimate anyone, really. Often, kids can be wiser than adults, and have had more trials and tribulations than adults, too! My grandfather was in his 80s and wanted to relearn Morse code (he had been an amateur radio operator), but my grandmother told him he was too old and couldn't do it. Meanwhile, I was 11 and a girl, and my grandfather didn't think i could get my ham radio license and learn Morse. Six months later i had my license and he and i could both send and receive code like the wind! We were so stinking proud of each other! Ah, crap, why did i have to say all of that, I miss him so much now 🥺 Rest in joy WB4DQV

[@janinemcdonnell9221]

That little girl was gorgeous.

[@garyhenry3103]

The child dancing to your music was wonderful. If that doesn't make you smile, I don't know what could. Bravo.

[@fredwoods9326]

Sign that dancer up today. What a little scene stealer. Wonderful fun as always. Thank you one and all.

[@otpkd]

She has the moves!

[@anniekirts6621]

Thank you little blonde angel, with your dance you have made an old sad heart happy for a moment.

[@gerryhouska2859]

Little people are great!

the little one knows a street band is there for dancing. I hope she never forgets the joy!

[@sirwilliams3885]

Only in this city can this happen

[@ndiamond3405]

So pure!

[@thetowertarot13]

That darling little girl was really feeling it and on point with matching her movements to the rhythm of the music! 🤩😍 I do believe a star 💫 is born!👏

[@PanzerChicken69]

She was all in from the gecko, no holding back!! What a little star indeed!

[@DemeterTelphousia-Erinyes]

Absolutely joyous!

[@bevygaines]

The baby girl is so cute, and the band is great!!!!❤

[@mousiebrown1747]

I love the French Quarter. This is my home; altho I’m old-ish and disabled, I can feel the same way now as when I’d take a bus to town & walk thru the French Quarter and feel the best vibes the City of New Orleans had to offer. I’m outside the city now, but it’s still “home.” ❤

[@valentuss]

The most Great Dancer I ever saw to dance for Tuba Skinny Amazing Playing...

[@voiceofreason9238]

Such pure joy in dancing. Thank you, sweetie, you made a lot of old people smile. 😎

[@BonnieThompson-ie9ci]

I know she made me SMILE !!

[@arifq123]

Fantastic job on the washboard!

[@drinnerd8532]

that lil' kiddo is FANTASTIC! lol! She's right on beat and is matching the energy of this set, PERFECTLY!!

[@TheSpikehere]

Her footwork is as fancy as her footwear. She's brilliant!

[@jkrause365]

You know you're doin' it right when little kids start dancing. Good to hear from you again.

[@lindalee5866]

Excellent! Kid keeping PERFECT time with her fancy feet! How has this not gone viral ?!

[@jimpomac]

One of the bright spots of being housebound after cancer treatment, was finding these guys on You tube. Love me some Tuba skinny !

[@RaoulDuke504RC]

Glad you’re enjoying the band and wishing you the best!

[@sylviacarlson3561]

Tuba Skinny sure has fine musicians. That lady on the cornet/trumpet is amazing. You sure can tell you are in the Quarter can't you! Got to love it!

[@vaughnmojado8637]

Sweet enough to make that child dance with joy. Thank you again.

[@johnthysen7278]

Quite the little dancer !… This must be what they mean by “ having the music in you “ …

[@meryle.hawkins880]

I’m feeling miserable and this just cheered me up. Thank,you for the beautiful music and dancing

[@robertlevasseur6843]

That is what music is supposed to be about. Pure joy. Thank goodness young children are around to remind us.

[@jacquelinedavis6607]

They put the ever glowing look on our faces.

The guest dancer was adorable! I know what it means to miss New Orleans…🎼💜💛💚🎺🪕🎻🪘🥁🎸🎹⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜⚜

[@jlg6690]

There is somewhere in France a 95 years old lady (same as Too Late) who feels great joy each time she watches this little girl. Thank you Tuba Skinny.

[@anthonywilliams6764]

What a great rhythm section, so clean and crisp its the perfect platform for the front line who are also great players. After playing the streets of Amsterdam Holland for three years every single day three sets per day including Christmas and New Years day, I can tell you a thing or three about the difficulties of doing your best every day, rain or shine, frozen fingers and sweaty hot days .Keep up the great playing guys and gal.

[@JoeBergeron-cn1mh]

Lucky to have heard and see him play

[@everettbass8659]

Don't let the world ever steal your joy sweetie,keep on a dancing right on through it.😊

[@TOPtee34]

The band and that little girl dancing give so much joy in troubled times , bless you all😃

[@ThomasConrad-f3p]

As fantastic as the trumpet solo is---echoes of old 'Bix' in uplifting the jazz number---one has never seen such a 'dazzling' dance routine from a child, who enters into the spirit of the thing! This really is astounding, and the young bouncing 'beauty' has such boundless energy throughout the performance!

[@normanpaulsen9070]

This little girl knows good music when she hears it !!

[@hellothere9440]

She is precious. This is what all kids should be doing enjoying the arts!

[@jeanclaudemeyer9188]

Ah que vous êtes magnifiques quand le sourire jaillit à la danse magnifique d'une toute petite fille! Bravo les Skinny ! Le talent sans prétention. La finesse sans arrogance. La joie sans facilités !

[@ingridself6076]

that kid is adorable - and that's how this music makes me feel!

[@marcydrake9159]

What joy!! The band and the dancer deserve each other!! 😍🥰

[@itsamemario8014]

She was certainly getting her groove on, marvellous.

[@anniekirts6621]

She’s got the Music in her! Sign her up, Miss Moonshine, of the Appalachian Clog Dancers! 💃💃💃🏆

A future tap dancer in the making!!!

What Joy this is brought me today, that little child dancing, the band playing, praise God hallelujah

Шикарная блондинка в цветных кроксах сделала этот вечер незабываемым как для зрителей так и для музыкантов! ❤

[@sandracrosbie8468]

The little child made so many people jealous, because they all wanted to enjoy the music as much as he did😊😊

[@emiliolopezify]

Thank you so much for a new video. 🎉 Always a pleasure. 😊 Great to see that a new generation of Tuba Skinny grow up.

[@lorenhewitt8279]

Sitting in my easy chair and I noticed my feet were moving to the music. Great music.

[@jouli_rew]

Wonderful video! Thank you! I think this child comes from a family of dancers or musicians and often sees people dancing solo jazz/tap or dances with them.

[@danmiller-t4p]

Just good ol' American fun. When little kids get excited... and start dancing, you know you're doing something special. Thank you.

[@fr57ujf]

What uninhibited joy. Terrific sense of rhythm. A born dancer.

All toe and foot tappers. Proper musicians, in other words. Respect from a folk musician.

[@debrabolton9372]

I love this music! Passed down through the family....my grandfather...my father. My third cousin was Miff Mole, a popular trombonist with his own band who played with Red Nicholls during the '20's and '30's. The little girl was so sweet.

[@bobthebinbag5949]

Anyone else blubbing, that little baby was so good and the band too 👍🥰

[@pitdoggy31]

LOVE that tune! Love the spirit in the child. 😊

[@F_later]

The little girl shows where it's all about in music: PASSION !! Tuba Skinny is fab !

[@stuffnuns]

The way you start this tune by reving the engine a little, then slam down on the pedal, and the music explodes like magic. That child felt the Joy in your playing. She had to dance. Tuba Skinny makes the world a better place. Keep swingin’!

[@taxicamel]

Well I think its safe to say that the little girl truly stole the show .....and she is VERY GOOD!!! .
