Anyone like Tom Waits?

    Does anyone here like Tom Waits? I know this is way off topic but I have tickets for Tom Waits Aug. 2,2006 @ Asheville,NC. It is an 8 date tour, Tickets sold out less then 10 minutes. I am so excited, I've been a big fan of his since 89 :bow:


    Also this weekend I was at a friends house and I had him burn Frank Marino & Mahogany Rush Real Live 2 cd. Absolutely mindblowingly good. Has anyone else heard it? :thumbup:

    That Marino CD is quite good, I agree! He's one of those guys who's never been content to simply write great songs and play them. He likes to use them as a springboard, and dive into the deep end of the musical pool to explore a bit. Good stuff! He's the Jacques Cousteau of rock guitar. LOL

    Rain Dogs is definitely one of my 10 desert island discs!

    And as Toadsterama mentioned Jacques Cousteau, you should really all give a listen to a band called Cousteau. If you like Scott Walker & Nick Cave with a tinge of Tim Buckley & Bacharach, they are for you. The singer's baritone will knock your socks off, guaranteed :)

    In this crazy world you must change yourself....

    Never compare yourself to others - people are more screwed up than you think.

    Yes I love Cousteau & also Scott Walker, his new one is "The Drift" and I also like "Tilt". I will let you know how the Tom Wait show goes. Have a great day GHCP!!:bouncer:

    More dates to follow- he's seriously looking for a new bass player- asked for serious inquiree's on his site. The plant I work in is having a full blown shutdown for the entire month of October...just my luck. Other than Glenn, Frank is one of the few artists I would travel for, but this time I can't. :mad:
    Hopin' we'll get done in time for the Dallas date, but unlikely.
