Many thanks, Randy. Nothing much left to say about this one as there are already several videos of them playing it - including some of your own. It depicts a train journey to 'Hot Town', reaching the destination at the end of the piece . It was composed in 1929 by clarinet-playing bandleader Fess Williams and recorded in New York that year by Fess Williams and His Royal Flush Orchestra. Tuba Skinny copy the Introduction of the original and then sensibly omit the vocal patter while making the 'railway' noises before Shaye is the first to play the 32-bar theme. Enjoy the the stabbing offbeats. Note the clever ending, with rallentando and extra two bars, to bring the train journey to an end. Played entirely in the key of B flat.
