Tuba Skinny & Simon Gronowski Collaboration
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ก.พ. 2021
- During the fall of 2020 Tuba Skinny collaborated with Mr. Simon Gronowski after learning of his life story as a Holocaust survivor in a New York Times article. In the article Mr. Gronowski mentioned how he would like to play with the band someday. Due to the pandemic and the great distance between their cities (Mr. Gronowski residing in Belgium and Tuba Skinny in New Orleans) that seemed virtually impossible. But following the trend of online performances during the quarantine and with the help of their tech-savvy friend Russell Welch (audio/video engineer) and a few other friends who translated, the collaboration was made possible. Special guest, Erika Lewis on vocals!
This fun quarantine-induced collaboration was made possible by: Russel Welch (www.russellwelch.com), Amy Edwards Anderson and her son Stefan Anderson as well as the very best, Mary Howell. Thank You!
Mr. Gronowski you’re an inspiration to us all. You inspire us to be brave and seek peace no matter what the odds.

Tuba Skinny ... You just added five happy years to Simon's life ... He got his wish to play with the best group around and you did him proud ... Love you all ... Mikie
Me encanta y me emociona esta banda.
Wonderful band. Wonderful Erika. Ain't we lucky to have these people around.
Amen to that.
DOES ERIKA HAVE ANY IDEA HOW BEAUTIFUL SHE IS OMG SHE IS SO BEAUTIFUL
Thank you, thank you. All the right ingredients for an outstanding performance. Compliments to Mr. Gronowski.
Best tonic in these troubled times listening to the band and beautiful Erika.
I'm so glad to see Erika doing well. The band sounds fantastic! Amazing, all around! Hang in there y'all!
This brought tears to my eyes to see Erika sing with the band and Simon play.
And..,
This is why tuba skinny exists ! ! !
To make hearts everywhere feel joy ! ! !
Thank all of you guys over there, from all of the joyous hearts out here ! ! !
Dear Erika, the other guys are awesome but still they lack something without you. The band is complete with you only.
Kudos to the audio and network engineers who made this possible. This video is about more than just music.
Yeah, just thought the same.
AMEN
This makes me tear up for several reasons!
It seems to me that it was recorded at different times. Then edited
Connection of Good all over the World!
Nice to see you all again. Erika you look so completely relaxed and contented, and sound as good as ever. Masterful remote camera work/editing and setup!
Tuba Skinny - making people's dreams come true!!
The best sounding band this side of, or for that matter any side of New Orleans❤️❤️❤️
What a surprise to see Erika back again! I missed your unique voice very much.
Many thanks to all Tuba Skinny members for your wonderful music.
I appriciaced Mr Gronowski piano playing very much too.
Can't wait for your next exibition!
The world needs great musicians like you guys.Peace and love.
How fabulous to see & hear Tuba Skinny with Mr Gronowski...and to see Erika well enough to sing moved me to tears . When this awful virus is over, Australia would love to have you back again and get Erika to sing to our poor Koala bears, I’m sure they will come down from their trees to listen..thanks Shaye ❤️
So beautiful....Skinny + Simon...just humans being together in music while far apart....so much love here...
Erika! Still as good as ever!
'' What a Show" Thanks For Respecting a Senior in 2021 Era
Don’t know the history behind this gentleman but can he play. Thanks for doing this. Hi Erica.🙏
I give up anythang for Lent but ain't given up no Tuba Skinny. Lord forgive me. Listened to everyone of your songs in this segment. You people are the greatest and what a kind gesture in linking up with Mr. Gronowski and letting him join in the fun and Erika, you're like honey on my biscuit. Luv your singin.
Just wonderful and brilliant - a treasure and an inspiration - thank you all
Hurrah for Mr Gronowski. Tubba Skinny, your strength in this Covid times will never be forgotten . You just made a Holocaust Survivor realise his musical life can never be over 🥰🥰 He has a new Band 🥰
Grandes De La Música!!!!!!!Que Gran Estilo... Único
OK, it is official, this is now my favorite Tuba Skinny video of all time. It is very emotional to see and hear Mr. Gronowski playing and expressing his admiration for the band. He illustrates the effect the band has on so many of us, enriching our lives in ways I hope the band understands. I know they have changed my life in so many wonderful ways. And to top it off we get to see and hear Erika for the first time since her surgery!
@EJ Aw what happened to Erika she needed surgery...i hope she is okay...i did not hear about ghis.
@EJ Aw Thank you for this info, I made a very belated donation!
Amen Brother James, amen! Tuba Skinny has helped me endure the pandemic and they lead me to discover many other great bands and performers such as Marla Dixon and her bands, the Shotgun and Shakem' Up Jazz bands, The Slick Skillet Serenaders, Sarah Peterson, Maddy Reidy, Chance Bushman, Tamar Korn and a host of others too numerous to mention. At this point in the game, I can say I know how Indiana Jones felt when he discovered the Lost Ark of the Covenant! Another thing is in a year marked by so much negativity, they gave us all a reason to feel upbeat and positive that better days are ahead. And the icing on the cake is that I have been blessed to make such wonderful friends as "Pops" Coffee, Alex of digitalalexa and you!😊👍
@@MarkWYoung-ky4uc Well said. Following this band for the past 6 years has opened up a whole new world for me. They make an old man feel young again.
@EJ Aw Amen EJ! 😊👍
When watching and listening to your "Sqeeze me again" Erika, people sure would like to squeeze you or give you a big hug! Wonderful to have you back with your clear beautiful voice that rembers folks to Billy Holliday in the past! Thank you to have you back again, all you Tuba Skinny! Merçi!
Right, Walter.
God I love this band. And this way of blending and sharing talent from multi-locations. What a treat.
That song must be named Forget the Covid Blues, it certainly brightened up my day. Thanks Folks.
Love you all. Beautiful to see some new videos! My heart flies, to see Ericka again..! Please stay safe...🌈
Heartwarming! What an experience for Mr. Gronowski and all of us. Also, wonderful to see Erika back after her surgery.

Fabulous performance by all. Been watching you for a decade on UTUBE and couple of times when I've been in NOLA. Never tire of your music, nice to see Erika and Mr Gronowski, great production.
Kudos to Russell Welch for his innovative amalgam of video and sound quality. ...and Tuba Skinny and Erica are no slouches either.
Tears to my eyes and tears to my heart strings Merci Much love!

Thanks, y'all. Stay SAFE!!! Mr. G, & Tuba Skinny, y'all are an awesome blessing- with-feet.😘💕🐺
Amazing! Thank you.
Fabulous loved every bit of it what a great band, fantastic to see Erica again
This is a great emotional boost for me. Seeing Simon Gronowski still able to play soulful music is just wonderful. I have missed seeing and hearing you Erika. You sound wonderful! I see that you have the scar of vocal cord surgery. Mine has faded and is almost invisible now. Please take care of that voice so we can all hear it for many years to come. To the rest of the band, you are solid as a rock. A bouncy, playful rock. Thank you for sharing your heart with us.
Mr Gronowski I loved your playing !!!!!
Keeping the beat with sandy feet. Continuing admiration (+enfatautions). Love y'all...mahalo...aloha from Hawaii
Love it :-) Gretings from Norway.
