My late father was a jazz trombonist, a Jack of all trades, a voracious reader, and the most eloquent man I had known, a fantastic explainer of stuff. He would have been 90 this March and I'm always reminded of him when I see you Scott. Even the white hair and square glasses. But today I saw the trio hit it off and... tears just bursted out. Thank you so much for sharing such a simple and beautiful moment with us, you never know how it will resonate on another person. You made my day. Keep up the good work!
You're Dad sounds like he was a Wonderful person, talk about him to Friends and people, it will keep his memory Alive. That helps me Tremendously,. Happy Easter Season
The spec house was great, but the content over the last several weeks is the kind that brought me to this channel in the first place. The first video I watched was on the Spencer logging tape, and it sold me on the whole package
I also fell off my chair when I saw this episode. I’m a working professional double bassist (Celsius Quartet) who loves to spend days in my shop fabricating (welding)wood working and improvising ! I’ve always thought the more you create,improvise, learn knew things ,the more everything starts to tie together and it’s all connected. The most important thing is to share it and pay it forward! Thank you Essential Craftsman for sharing your talents ,knowledge and experiences .
I love Dixieland! It's so happy. Tell Kelly she's awesome with that banjo. Yea, the good people in one's life should always be kept close. That's why we're here on the planet. For each other...
Impossible to watch with without smiling. Great playing Scott. I’m a professional trombonist in the uk so I know how hard it is, you make it sound so natural …. I sure wish I had some of your construction and smithing skills
Jon’s new tuba must be an absolute _beast_ if he is selling this one, that has a sweet and strong tone - looking forward to your new series “Here’s something I am learning” :) Thank you Kelly for joining in front of the camera today, and making it a trio! Such delight to have this music - and a little surprise too, I love watching your videos but had not suspected the Dixie trombonist in you. Now it’s obvious though: relying on teamwork and letting the twinkle in your eye shine: keep up the good work!!
I've learned so much from your videos over the years. Much respect for the work you do, the way you take care of your family, and your community building skills. Cheers!
you stated keeping up with important people in your life. i lost my wife of 59 years a couple of months ago. i watch several u tube channels…..being watching yours a long time….. you worked up to be an important person….thanks
Bravo, Encore! Watching you all have so much fun made me dig my banjo and hammer claw a couple of jazz tunes. I had to knock some dust and spider webs off it and it took me a hour to get it in tune but my kids thought Dad was a hoot once I started tripping over the strings. Thanks for the inspiration. 😅
As a professional tubist, your "shop concert" was fantastic. Good friends playing great old standards and just having fun. If you get a chance, check out my dear friend Sam Pilafian and Travelin' Light right here on youtube. Sam was one of the great tuba players of all time.
This channel needed more plectrum banjo. I remember that Christmas episode from years back when your family played together. Enjoyed hearing you play. I was always jealous of those folks that grew up in musical families. You all are very fortunate!
Never commented before but when I heard back home again playing I couldn’t help but smile. Born and raised about 15 minutes from the track. RIP Jim Nabors. I always look forward to your videos and have learned a lot from your channel. Thank you for the great content sir!
Holy cow! Your truly a gifted man Scott! I’ve heard you mention you and family were musical but this was truly a treat! John seems like a real character and your wife is lovely. Keep up the great work you crazy kids!
My God, Will wonders ever cease! I have seen it all now. Scott, I had the blues today, until you began belting out Sweet Georgia Brown. Thank you for sharing your trombone talent with us. I have hope again!
Love it Scott! I've played with various instruments for 50 years, but never got good enough on any of them to be of any use in a group. I'm now encouraging my grandsons to learn, and I know just enough to get them started.
My son was the "tuba genius" in the middle school band and won several awards. It was also my favorite instrument. I thought that I would be listening to the sound of the tuba until I left the planet, BUT he wanted no part of it after middle school. DANG. My neighbor gave us a Ephonium, a two horned horn, but smaller than a tuba. Remember the "The Dukes of Dixieland " from the 50's or 60's? I played that record until the dog cried "mercy". My favorite sounds. You guys are awesome !!!!!! I never knew you were soooo talented!
I'm a trombone playing craftsman too! My best friends are tuba, trombone and guitar players. I can relate with the blessings friends can be and how music brought us together. And nice work on the trills!
If you didn't go off about how you're no pros and you don't play that often and skipped straight to the music, would have fooled me outright! You guys sound fantastic!! Maybe it's the blessing of jazz giving you that vibrant spirit but you guys are truly awesome!!
oh my word.. love this.. "sweet Georgia brown" .. behind every good man is a woman on the banjo.. amazing sound from the shop.. the shop offers a reverb.. so nice..
As an Indiana fellow I enjoyed this video. I have visited Oregon twice. First in 1994 to the National Square Dance convention in Portland and again to Portland in 2014 for a Rugby Tournament our Grandson from Montana was playing in. We were in Montana for his H.S. graduation when the opportunity can up, so we decided to go since we had no other plans. We drove southeast across the state to Idaho then back up to Missoula then to Great Falls for our Daughters birthday, which she did not know we were coming back for. Thanks for the Indiana tune. Great job.
Wow I am most thoroughly impressed I would never have guessed EC that you were such a great musician. All three of you were absolutely fantastic I know because back in the day I too played in a jazz band. My majors was tenor sax and trumpet those were my best years and memories. I would absolutely love to have a album full of your groups great music.
I like every thing about your channel but this video just took it to a higher level . I could listen to to your music all day . Cheers from Australia . :)
Now this was such FUN! It’s was refreshing seeing the real human side of you all instead of just the business side of you! I throughly enjoyed this since I’m a big music fan all my life! I too play the trombone, mandolin, guitar and upright and electric bass! Thank you so much this was a blast!
You and Kelly never cease to amaze. Y'all are richly blessed and share so much with others. I'm blessed to be one of many that enjoy your talents. God bless you and yours.
Scott, thank you! This was great. Especially your closing comment about relationships. You prompted me to reconnect with a long ago friend today. It was about 50 years since we have talked, but today it was as if it was yesterday. So very grateful to you for all you are and do. Keep up the good work.
Although I could sit and listen to you three play all day, I think being able to watch you play made this even more enjoyable. Thank you for sharing this with us and I am sure you had even more fun that we saw in the video.
Thanks from a big fan of your's. A big fan of both Tuba and Dixieland in general. I grew up in Indiana. And once a Hosier, always a Hosier. What else CAN I say 🤗🎶😙😊
@@essentialcraftsman yes still in Vegas. In the same general neighborhood. Was delighted to run across your channel a few months ago. Looks like you're doing well! How's all the kids?
This video made my day! When I was in high school, I ran the sound system for the Traditional Jazz Society of Oregon's festival in Cresswell. Did that for two summers.
Dont get much Dixie land jazz here in the UK but that music definitely has a therapeutic quality to it . Mixed with quality craftsmanship in work and play , an educational aspect in absolutely everything you do . A calming and influential voice to relay the message . An addictive channel here , well done sir .
Now we are getting to good stuff on this channel. I have watched every episode because of the great content. And it looks like we are just beginning. Keep it up
Always a surprise, a successful father grandfather with a grasp of the English language that rivals many authors. Thank you for sharing you and your families rich life with me.
I played tuba /sousaphone from 6th grade through a 5th year of college, 12 years, mostly in Kansas and at K-State. I enjoyed your shop concert and hope you show us videos of you and your grandchildren playing as you all learn more.
Boy, I enjoyed that! My siblings and I, unfortunately, can’t carry a tune in a bucket! My father played a variety of instruments as did various aunts and uncles and other relatives! The music gene wasn’t passed on to us even though we tried! Very sad! 😢
Hi I'm all the way from Australia and let me say I enjoyed the that jam great trio ,I also a carpenter my father was a carpenter to and a musician he played a clarinet brought back good memory's cheers mate 👍
I listened to the Jazz Minors as a kid at the Sacramento Dixieland Jubilee. I’ll never forget that. Didn’t realize we had crossed paths decades before I saw your channel.
As an essential craftsman, it’s almost a requirement to think outside the box and be creative. And as any creative type person, that extends into so many different mediums. Forging, videography construction and even music 🎶 I can’t wait to see what your next talent is.
Great sound! As an old tuba & euphonium player, I loved it. Scott, you'll find adding the tuba to your repertoire a fairly simple task. The embouchure is a little different from the trombone and you're playing an octave lower, but there's a direct correspondence between trombone slide positions and tuba (or euphonium) valve combinations. Also, that 4th valve is like the F attachment on a trombone: it lowers the fundamental pitch of the horn by a fourth. Using it will probably give you better intonation than you'd get with valve combinations 1-3 or 1-2-3 (6th or 7th position) notes. Play it!
Sir, you and I are very much alike in interest. I play a lot of stringed instruments, played tuba and trumpet in high school, blacksmith, do some carpentry. In another life, we could have been best buds. Love your content. Keep up the good work.

Ermoso arriba el mundo hay qué ser feliz , saludos
In a chaotic world, this was a pleasant change from all the doom and gloom. Loved it!
Well, I wasn't expecting this at all. I thought I was the only Tuba/Bass Trombone/general carpenter person. Very happy that you're a great musician!
He keeps his chops up, which is impressive. Good work ethic.
Tuba/bass trombone here too
Tuba and trombone player here too. (also enjoys a bit of wood work at the weekends!)
The best kind of music - a bunch of mates just getting together and banging out a few tunes - brilliant!!!
Is there no end to the talent - amazingly fun to watch this many thanks.
What a concert hall with notes reflecting off all those hard surfaces. It sounds heavenly.

Don’t ever stop producing content. Please.
Great tunes reminds me of walking down main street at Disney. , !
Music, the language of emotion. Thanks for sharing

I've watched your videos since close to the beginning, and this, by far, brought the biggest smile. Thanks for bringing joy to my day!
Wow! You’re really good! Thanks for playing. I enjoyed it with a smile on my face.
you stated keeping up with important people in your life.
i lost my wife of 59 years a couple of months ago.
i watch several u tube channels…..being watching yours a long time….. you worked up to be an important person….thanks
Tuba, banjo, and trombone grooving in a fantastic shop = awesome.
Bravo, Encore! Watching you all have so much fun made me dig my banjo and hammer claw a couple of jazz tunes.

This made me smile.
This episode cemented it. You’re one of my favorite channels!!
Thank you! That's the best content I've seen in awhile. And it brings back memories of high school and college when I played tuba.
I smiled until my face hurt all the way through, thank you so much for some good wholesome fun.
Holy cow! Your truly a gifted man Scott! I’ve heard you mention you and family were musical but this was truly a treat! John seems like a real character and your wife is lovely. Keep up the great work you crazy kids!

Seeing Scott and Kelly have so much fun with friends inspires me to keep up the good work and having laughs with my bride!
The ring of a hammer on anvil fits in there somewhere. Great!
You may be right
I LOVE this!!! I miss my jazz days so much!
Edit: I just bought the book 😊
If you didn't go off about how you're no pros and you don't play that often and skipped straight to the music, would have fooled me outright! You guys sound fantastic!! Maybe it's the blessing of jazz giving you that vibrant spirit but you guys are truly awesome!!
you are a blessed fellow.
My word Scott you are an extremely talented man.
God bless you and your family

It looks like you had as much fun making this video as I did watching it. Thanks so much for bringing some joy to my day!
Excellent! Would love to hang out in your shop with you, Kelly and John. I'd even bring my KAZOO!
LOL
Cheers!

Scott, thank you! This was great. Especially your closing comment about relationships. You prompted me to reconnect with a long ago friend today. It was about 50 years since we have talked, but today it was as if it was yesterday. So very grateful to you for all you are and do.
Keep up the good work.
This was wonderful! We used to enjoy going to see some live ragtime and miss it. Thanks for sharing!
Although I could sit and listen to you three play all day, I think being able to watch you play made this even more enjoyable. Thank you for sharing this with us and I am sure you had even more fun that we saw in the video.
What Fun!😄
Thanks from a big fan of your's.
A big fan of both Tuba and Dixieland in general.
I grew up in Indiana.
And once a Hosier, always a Hosier. What else CAN I say
🤗🎶😙😊
Oh, and I almost forgot, US27 goes through Fort Wayne, Indiana.
Years ago, I realized I have never lived more than an hour from US 27. 🤒
LOVE IT A CLASSIC I, VI, II, V, turn ... Brilliant!
I'm glad you included this on your channel!
That will be great music for Passover. Thank you 🙏🏼
Thank you for your "shop trio" rendition of some ole favorite classic tunes. Please keep playing and entertaining us viewers.
You get another standing ovation Scott! I so enjoy your channel old friend.

Lovely music
God has blessed you with many gifts and skills my friend.
What a pleasure! That was great.
Not into this genre of music but playing musical instruments with friends is one of the most fun I ever had in my life. I miss those days dearly.
Is there anything you can’t do? You are such a talented man!
What an AWESOME post!! Quite a curveball... Hit it out of the park! Thanks
Awesome! Love that Dixieland sound! What talent! I haven't played my Trombone in about 35 years. I may have to drag it down out of the attic.
As a tuba player myself, throughly enjoyed this trio ….. thanks for sharing!
Hey you’ll are absolutely fabulous great to see and hear good people having fun. 🇹🇹
I love this kind of music. I'm a millennial & I got to say, music back in the day was soo much better.
Way to go, caught myself taping my feet. 🤝🙏
Man, this brought a smile to my face!

Awesome and so much fun 🪕

Thank you for the encouragement. Problem is, this is a C Tuba and we thought it was a Bb...
Whole new learning curve!
Most excellent. A pleasant surprise.
I clapped 👏 several times though no one is in the room. Awesome
Your speech about the circle of friends brought tears ,best advice ever.
Same here!
Great shop/ music hall, thank you all for sharing your talents 👍
So much fun to watch. Such a great activity for family and friends.
So much more respect…to see a man take an interest in more than one area of life…really rounds out a personality.
Smiled through the whole video😁😁😁. Nothing beats a couple of good friends just having good old fashioned fun.
The gift that keeps on giving.
thank you , i needed that
What a treasure of a vídeo. Simply and essentialy poetic to see and hear old jazz resounding through the shop. Thank you for making this!
