I went to see Waits in a small bar in Chicago back in the 70's. Little place called The Quiet Knight, small room upstairs, bathrooms downstairs. We arrive half hour before the show, I walk downstairs to the bathrooms with my date and there's Waits sitting on a chair outside the mens room, leaning back on two legs, all alone just humming and scatting to himself. This was back in the Nighthawks days, he was just getting started.
Do you have the 3 disk Orphans set? If you don't drop what you're doing and go get it right now. The BEST EVER, I swear. My daughter bought it for me a year ago Christmas and I kid you not those three disks did not leave the player for three straight months. I never got tired of it, can't say enough good things about that one.
I've been into a YouTube craze here, you think of a song and bango, someone has posted it. Here's an oldie but goodie.
Ahh yes... couldn't get enough of this one... humping the side of the TV when ever it came on....
....did I just say that out loud?
