[@maddiplomacy]

I was about to comment similarly. I could not avert my eyes from the kids doing their thing. Watched it 2 more times and subscribed. Hats off to you, Tuba Skinny! I am now a fan of your music because of your talent and clearly compassionate marketing skills. Well done.

Clarinets are syncopating, there's dancing in the street, the table's a-flying, somebody empties his wallet into the box, and Shaye jumps for joy! ... and the band plays on ... Just another day in the life of Tuba Skinny, This has gotta be RaoulDuke504's best catch of the year. :-)

Tuba Skinny is the most delightful Dixie/Blues group of musicians anywhere. I find it fascinating to watch the tempi marked out by patting feet, and hands, and watching the street dancers (and others) taking their pleasure listening. Guys stay safe and well. Bless you and those you love.

I need just one more. For people to keep their rug rats on a leash! These people are working hard and they do not deserve that grief! The parents should be ashamed!!!!!

[@jeffreycraven8154]

@@eastcoastcharlie602 Rug Rats are like smart puppy dogs, they need a good trainer. Many parents don't know anything or have morals or a sense of responsibility, plus little or no belief in God & raise kids who if the child were a dog would've been taken to the local humane society for a hopeful adoption. Most of western cultures have lost child rearing skills for the past 40 to 50 some years & couldn't raise anything properly because their elders didn't listen to their parents or grand parents. Welcome to the year 2020!

[@eastcoastcharlie602]

@@jeffreycraven8154 You are right and unfortunately, you see this kind of bad behavior everywhere you go. I played music semi-professionally and part time for many years and my son is a full time musician. The audience only sees how good of a time they are having and if the musicians have good stage presence, it appears they are having a fabulous time also. Hopefully the performers are enjoying their work as it is always better if we enjoy our JOB but, that is what it is for them, A JOB! The numerous expenses in instrument and upkeep including all other equipment needed, you pay your own health insurance or any other benefits you may desire. Add to that the thousands of hours of practice and learning new material and in the end, you have broken your butt working to make a living. Like I said, these performers (and all others) do not deserve this kind of grief! The parents that do not "parent" are simply POS and they are raising dregs to future society. On a better note, I do see well behaved kids sometimes with their parents and other times without. But especially when you see well behaved kids without their parents around, you do in a way see their parents. You see them in the faces of their well behaved children that in the future will be the best of future society.

[@patfink9557]

If you would rewatch the video, those “misbehaved rugrats” are trying to put money in the box. And doing as children do who are still developing, lost situational awareness and knocked over the table.

[@stepno]

The chilly February hoodies and clarinet section remind me of interviewing a friend I'd seen play Irish fiddle, bagpipes, guitar, Hardanger fiddle, mandolin, mandocello, tin whistles, recorders and 5 string banjo. "What was your first instrument?" I asked him. "Clarinet," he said. Why did he move on? "Because you'll freeze your fingers off in the marching band." (Next: euphonium, because bigger buttons meant he could wear gloves.) Thank you, Tuba Skinny, for keeping those fingers moving, for being hot on cold days and oh so cool in the summer heat!

This reminds me of when I was in Tucson AZ around 1976. I was in the Air Force then when a friend of mine brought me to this huge building that use to be a department store except it was packed to the till with musical instruments, like brass horns and strings like violins and cello. Every floor and every room was packed, it was astounding. I thought to myself this is the remnants of a time when entertainment was live due to a lack of technology.
