I cudda tiperd thiz bettern, but the pianos been drinkin’, (and I’ve been guzzling).
Tom Waits is a unique talent, that much is for sure.
Now that I think about it, I meant to reply in A minor, but I’ve been repeating C major diatonic triads for 20 minutes and buggered myself with muscle memory.
Preemptive apologies to all that were distressed.
Tom’s favorite intro for “The Piano Has Been Drinking” is “This is a little duet I wrote for piano and fire extinguisher!” all while doing his great mock-drunk slur.
Also from “Small Change” is one of his greatest ballads “Tom Trobart’s Blues” which is often introduced as “This song is about throwing up in a foreign country”
Tom is a master!
