Tuba Skinny - I'm Blue and Lonesome - Royal Street II 2018 

Thanks again! I always appreciate your knowlede about all this titles of the early days of jazz. Thanks for your blog: playing-traditional-jazz.blogspot.com/

Unusual construction. Bluesy in sound, but not a blues. Twenty four bars long. Lovely melody.

Where do you play in Germany?

Around the area Frankfurt/Main.

Wo genau? Dann komme ich mal vorbei.

Ich habe gerade gesehen, dass ich Samstag das Stück NICHT spiele. Am 16.01.2019 aber in Frankfurt im Trio in der Art Bar.

Mi voglio informare, grazie tante e buona domenica,

But, if you listen carefully, you will find they stay in G - the key used all along. So that signal is a bit of a mystery. Probably she means that - to bring the performance to an end - they are to play just the last eight bars of the song, instead of going right from the beginning again; and that's what they do.

That key change signal has always sorta confused me. Does x up/down mean x sharps/flats period or to CHANGE that many. e.g. 2 down from F goes to Eb? 2 up goes from G to E. @@PopsCoffee

@@shurshot2764 It doesn't mean 'change that many'. Down is flats; Up is sharps. So two fingers down means the key that uses two flats (i.e. Bb). But the incident in this video at 4 mins, though it looks like a key signal, obviously is something quite different - almost certainly their way of saying 'play just the final eight bars of the tune'.
