Tom Waits. One of my favorites. Closing Time was one great song after another. I saw him open for Martin Mull and his Fabulous Furniture at the Troubadour in L.A. in '74 or '75. Halfway through the set Waits, sitting at the piano, reaches into the inside pocket of his sports coat and pulls out an open, half-filled bottle of beer, takes a slug, turns to the audience and says: "came with the coat".

I still can remember the first time I heard him... Back in high school, my English teacher and I were to do a jam session, and we broke off with Ice Cream Man. I had never heard him before... It only took me a couple of days do buy his CDs. I still hear them, when the mood calls for some drunk-at-the-piano sort of tune!

I got to see him in St. Louis at the Fox Theatre on the Glitter and Doom tour. I didn't think I would ever get a chance, and it was like living a dream for me. /but you're innocent when you dream olieoliver Senior Member Username: olieoliver Post Number: 2394 Registered: 2-2006 Posted on Wednesday, May 20, 2009 - 6:14 am:    You beat me to it Bill.
