The Piano Has Been Drinking (Not Me)

December 7, 1949 –
It’s Tom Waits’ birthday today.

Anywhere I Lay My Head –

Downtown Train –

Temptation –

Telephone Call From Istanbul –

And the Acme Corp. is always happy to sponsor that Christmas Classic, Christmas Card from a Hooker in Minneapolis (One of our loyal bunkies pointed out that there is no Euclid Ave in Minneapolis, but we won’t hold it against Mr. Waits.) –

As always, let’s stay up all night, get the piano drunk and sing really sad songs in a raspy voice in his honor.
