    Shaye is the heart of this band, and yet she tends to stay out of the spotlight, sharing it equally with the whole band. And then there's Erica. Oh my, what music.

    Ich liebe diesen alten Mississippi- Sound. Das ist die Sprache Gottes. Tuba Skinny ist der Blues in meinem Herz. Die Band auf der Straße zu sehen, ist sicherlich ein Seelenheil. Ich bin ein alter Ostdeutscher aus Germany. Die Auftritte aller Bandmitglieder sind Kultur einer leider vergangenen Musikepoche, die wie zu sehen, niemals die Welt verlassen wird.
    Danke Euch in New Orleans!

      Kenny B Very important bridge between rock and blues (and other music genres afterwards) - when I started my music expedition after my narrow-minded rock period :) - was Jimi Hendrix actually, and his compilation album Blues. Than I´ve discovered Johnny Winter, Allman Brothers, Canned Heat (I love that wonderful diversity inside this band, too), Rory Gallagher and his live-performances :D...back to Cream, E.C. and with him R.L.Johnson of course, than back again to Stones :))) and so on... I thank them all for knowledge, that it doesn´t matter the genre of music in fact, but the quality of it and the fervour of musicians. I really-really thank them all, TS including, for widening my passion and pleasure of good music :)

I have compared the early videos to the current ones, and can tell a difference. However, the early ones are still great. Maybe one day I’ll get to see them live, but I must hurry because I am in my 8th decade.
