That's one we use to sing around the fireplace back in the early 50's. I had 7 sisters and one brother. Dad played banjo, brother Buzz on the guitar, Sister Bunny on the ukulele, 2 brother in law's, one on harmonica, and one on accordion. Thanks for the memories! I'm goin' to hunt for more.

[@eddiesampson2177]

I hope someone recognizes Erika's unusual and quite unique vocal arrangements and gets her in the studio while shes young and vibrant and her voice is at its peak performance. This little lady is packed with extraordinary talent. In my opinion she has made her mark on the industry and will be remembered as one of the greats. Shes that "one" that comes along every century. Thank you Erika for your contributions and for keeping this music alive. Im not sure if you realize your remarkable gift, but I do, and in time many will. I wish you many years of health, wealth, and success. Please keep cranking out these old tunes, in your own style, thank you.

[@PMLynch]

Not a little lady...Erika's about 5'10"

[@raymonddixon7603]

Jeez Eddie, she was not that good. Fine enough ok, but there are tons of young singers around the world with as good or better voices. From Ireland.

[@duckdog38]

@@raymonddixon7603 how would a guy in ireland know anything about a cajun girl with an angels voice singing the blues? Go back to ireland and take your opinion with you. Jackwagon.

What a sound bring back the 1920's and 30's. Extreme talent what a outstanding vocalist

[@kinkajou777]

I just responded to a person who said that Ericka and Tuba Skinny should be household names. As fans, we can help them along. When we get off You Tube to do something else, we can randomly talk about them. I’m a person who starts random conversations. We can include Tuba Skinny in our conversations. If we do enough of that, Tuba Skinny will be a household name. We can each say, “Have you ever heard of Tuba Skinny?” Regardless of the answer, we still talk about Tuba Skinny. The more we talk about them, the more people will know.

[@DrLumpy]

If you enjoy them, then enjoy them. Your opinion doesn't become validated by knowing that others like them. It's art.

[@grahamcarter231]

Hey from Ontario Canada. My dad used to sing this all the time. Would be 103 this year. Im a 60 yr old classic rock and blues fan . . This girl got it all going on

@@grahamcarter231 I’m ten years your junior. I grew up near Sault Ste Marie, Ontario on the American side. It’s cool that you like Classic Rock! So do I! I’m glad that your father loved Dixieland Jazz! I’m sorry that you don’t have your Dad on Earth with you! The World War II people were always the greatest!! I frequent New Orleans. I will look up Tuba Skinny next time I go there.

The band is actually going back to the June 1928 recording of this tune by white minstrel performer Emmett Miller in NY. He was backed up by white NY musicians including Tommy,trb; and Jimmy Dorsey,cl-as; Eddie Lang,g; Artie Schutt, p; and Stan King,d In the 20s musical forms often overlapped and that session is a very interesting one.

You mean to say , tuba skinny featuring Erica Lewis .

[@kinkajou777]

In my opinion, they will become household names. By looking at them, they are still young. They seem determined enough to make it work. With their youth and determination, they will become big names down the road. It could take them days, weeks, months, or years. I want to see them become big names like many of their fans. As fans, we can help them along by word of mouth. I’m just making an honest assessment due to my experiences as a semi professional musician.
