Tuba Skinny- Gimme Some

Recorded at the DBA Palace Market

Many thanks, Ray. This 12-bar blues, composed by Clarence Williams, was recorded by Margaret Webster in 1929; and also by Bessie Smith. Tuba Skinny included it on two of their albums - 'Tuba Skinny' and 'Pyramid Strut', with Erika singing it. But she preferred the key of B flat, whereas with Greg on vocals they play it in E flat. A clever little touch in this performance is the way Shaye and Craig 'trade twos' in a four-bar link before the sixth Chorus. Shaye sets it up with a signal to Craig at 01:24 and then a leg signal to the rest of the band at 01:28.

I didn't known the number of single performances of this tune playing by Tuba Skinny. I only know all are fabulous.
I can't stop listening this band.
Craig Klein with a marvelous trombone solo. 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏 👏
Even without Erika, Barnabus and Jason "Gimme some" is still wonderful.

Robin is always entertaining. Here he delivers an exciting solo that gives Gimme Some a perfect ending.

Thanks again Mr. Ray! This has been one of my favorite TS songs since the beginning. Max is a great tenor banjo player!

Go, Robin, go, he well deserved that cheer!

A great old song played and sung just right. The best audio and video. Once again, the audience loves Robin’s solo. Say, was he in rhythm band in grade school?

Man I really miss Erika, dude you’re good and all, you know what I mean.!!

Who is on trombone? I thought Charlie Haloran normally fills in for Barnabus at the d.b.a., but that does not look like him behind the dark glasses.
