...However, when I was a teen, a small applicance company here in the Detroit area--Highland--used a bit of a Tom Waits song for a radio commercial and verbally thanked him at the end of the commercial for the use of the song and it's what got me interested in Tom Waits. I thought, "Man, that's good stuff!" Been a fan ever since.......
Have you got any more info on this josepp? How long ago it was and if you can remember the name of the company?
