I've never seen glamour; they enjoy what they are doing, and I'm impressed that they don`t try to impress, and they are one of the best. Thank you from an old man that stumbled upon you a few years ago and continue to listen. I've shared your music with friends and they all like. Life is short, enjoy......

    Another genius solo from Shaye Cohn as she channels Satchmo and the roots of the blues in the mud of the Mississippi delta. It started with the blues, Louis Armstrong took the blues and made it jazz and Shaye takes all of that and makes it live again. I can't get enough of her beautiful mellow coronet sound and feel for the blues and New Orleans music history. She is a treasure and I am addicted to her playing. And of course there is the group itself, Tuba Skinny which is the canvas on which she paints. Love her, love these guys and may they play for a long time to come.

    These people, and indeed all musicians, are truly blessed by God (higher power) with abilities that most of us can only marvel at. I played in a HS band and could not play without the sheet music in front of me, and even then was challenged by some of the music. To know hundreds of songs by heart takes more ability than most of us possess. Kudos to all of these band members and all musicians in general

My introduction to Tuba Skinny was 'Postage Stomp' when a couple of girls provided a piece of unscheduled humour right at the start by knocking over the band's display and contributions table. Robin picked up a couple of stray banknotes and ran round to pop them in the box. 😄 Great fun - I watch this over and over again.

    I watched the leader for hours before I appreciated how she unobtrusively conducts the group. She rarely displays her extraordinary range of talents: I have heard her play the piano and the clarinet although she mostly stays with a range of trumpets. The music is fine in every respect. World terrorists should listen to this instead of 'playing' their usual activities.

    Many thanks for filming this, John. 'Once in a While' was composed in 1927 by W H Butler
    . Tuba Skinny play it in the key of C. As you can hear, it has an Introduction and then just two themes - a 16-bar first theme, and a 32-bar [16 + a similar 16] main theme that uses a simple chord progression. Two-bar breaks are often taken on bars 15 and 16 of the main theme; and also sometimes on bars 31 and 32 as a soloist takes over from his predecessor. There is coincidentally a QUITE different song called 'Once in a While' , composed in 1937 by Edwards and Green. It is a lovely ballad of 32 bars - a-a-b-a in structure, usually played at about half the speed of the Butler composition. In case anybody still needs time stamps, here goes:
    00:00 INTRODUCTION.
    00:04 THEME ONE - 16 bar melody stated by Shaye.
    00:25 THEME TWO - 32-bars, Ensemble, without breaks.
    01:05 Probably (off camera) Shaye's hand-on-head signal, telling everyone to return to THEME ONE.
    01:06 THEME ONE - The 16 bars this time ensemble.
    01:27 THEME TWO - Craig's solo, including the break on bars 15 and 16 at 01:45 and allowing Barnabus to take the final two bars at 02:06 as a transition to his solo.
    02:08 THEME TWO - Barnabus solos, taking the break at 02:26 and thereafter being supported by Craig and Shaye, before also 'cutting' at bar 31 (02:46) for
    Max to take the break at the end of the Chorus.
    02:42 Note Shaye setting up what will happen in bars 31 and 32, and the following chorus.
    02:49 THEME TWO - Max leads on the banjo over the first 16 bars - including the break on bars 15 and 16; Todd leads the remaining 16 bars
    but with Shaye taking the break in bars 31 and 32, leading into her own chorus.
    03:27 THEME TWO Shaye improvises over the 32 bars, the others playing an interesting well-rehearsed pattern of stop beats, Shaye taking the breaks
    at bars 15, 16, 31 and 32.
    04:09 THEME TWO - Ensemble, with Robin taking the break on bars 15 and 16.
    04:49 CODA - two added bars to round it off.

      The intro is D7 - G - C stop. THEME ONE chords are C - C - G - G - G - G - C - C (repeat C - C - G - G and end with D7 - D7 - G7 - G7). THEME TWO chords are C - C - E7 - E7 - Am - Am - C - C - F - F - C - A7 - D7 - D7 - G - G, generally, but stopping on C where there are stops at the end. I think the coda is a C - G - C vamp.
