One of Miss Noonie's favourites, Kid Thomas used to do the Milk Cow Blues this way, then Kid Bastien did it, and we carry on.
New Orleans trumpeter Kid Thomas Valentine was strange and wonderful beyond belief. Cliff told me, "You gotta listen to Kid Thomas, man!" And he was right.
lyrics
If you see my milk cow, please drag her home.
I ain't had no milk and butter since my milk cow been gone.

I happened upon Tuba Skinny and Erika L buskin’ in New Orleans on YouTube! I have Loved them ever since and play their albums daily! As a musician and band member in Canada, I can say that Tuba Skinny and their soulful renditions touched my soul in ways that have uplifted my life. We in the “great White North” can only dream of making New Orleans jazz like T S. Long Live Tuba Skinny and may their music become world wide for the enjoyment of all!! Davey1
