THE WEIGH OF ALL FLESH
Word has it, the above title is a fey-tal play on the title of the satirical novel THE WAY OF ALL FLESH by Samuel Butler. The reason for such elfin impiety will become apparent down the line(s)….but first, a nod to the novel:

My previous post featured clips of the fab trad jazz band TUBA SKINNY, which, I was pleased to see, saw a number of approving comments in the aftermath — leading me to consider a followup post. But, for some, too many toots on the tuba may be too much of a good thing….so I’ve decided to go with an unbiased diet of Skinny sharing the dais with Fats.
You won’t find Tuba Skinny doing Fat and Greasy because it’s hard to put on weight if you drink nothing but Muddy Water,,,,
From Fat and Greasy by way of Muddy Water, the next venue on the menu is the Avita Springs (Louisiana) Busker Fest by way of the Big Easy (New Orleans):
How Do They Do It That Way? I hear that Fats knows:
By the way, if you didn’t like this post, it’s not my fault — the Butler did it.

Tuba Skinny is a great bunch of buskers. Have you listened to Jessy Carolina of The Bill Murray Experience? She’s better live than recorded.

She’s great….but if I could listen to only one, I’d choose Tuba Skinny’s Erika Lewis (she does the vocal on SWEET LOVIN’ OLD SOUL in my previous post).
