The book 'Tuba Skinny and Shaye Cohn' by Pops Coffee is available from Amazon, both as a paperback and as an eBook.
On 7 April 2016, in Royal Street, New Orleans, I was fortunate to be present at a World Premiere! I was told this was the first time Tuba Skinny had played 'Hilarity Rag' in public. It was composed as a piano piece in 1910 by James Scott (who also wrote 'Climax Rag' and 'Grace and Beauty'). You can hear how one of its themes (the one in B flat, heard for the first time at 55 seconds) has much in common with the final theme of 'Climax Rag'. It seems to me that Tuba Skinny have modelled their version closely on that of Bunk Johnson's re-working of 'Hilarity Rag' for his 1947 New York recording.
