Allan,

This is one I wished I'd taped when I first saw it. I'll agree about Waits' presentation: He's the kind of Blues writer who can really make you want to go home and open a vein before the night's over. I like his stuff better when done by someone else. But I'll make the video and play a little, then stop and come back later to play a little more. Otherwise I become more and more depressed and cynical. Neither Waits nor his music is likely to raise my already low opinion of mankind.
