One of my all time favorite song writers & performers...
He's actually a friend of mine...I've known him and his family for years.I went crazy over Waits a few years ago, so I set out to own all his stuff and now I do. Key word.....unique!

I could tell some stories...some wild...and some mild.
But that's for another day and time perhaps.
Lowside of the Road?....or one of the others?Lucky you, how cool is that?
I own his book, very interesting guy as you know.

I asked him once where he got his ideas from or if he channels various souls and spirits from the past....he just chuckled loudly and said..."man, I seen some stuff in my day...a lot of stuff".....and "sometimes I can't stop thinking about them"..."That's why I do what I do."How cool is this?
Hard to beat Mule Variations.

We originally met in 1977...while I was living in SoCal, backstage at one of his shows during the Small Change/Foreign Affairs tour. Then a few years later I ended up working for Bill Graham Presents, and had other friends who were studio musicians...so long story short, there were always rehearsals, parties, concerts...and eventually that circle usually included headliner performers and artists and their entourages.So you live by him, some job? How do you know him?
There is a very cool interview of his in Blues Revue magazine, he is actually on the cover.

Then after I moved up here to SF in the mid 80's, I found out from a mutual friend he was living up in Sonoma. We reconnected in the 90's when he was on the bill at one of Neil Young's Bridge School benefit concerts at Shoreline Amphitheater in Mountain View. We've been in semi sporadic contact since.
