Morning All,
I'm eager to hear your experiences of the first time
you heard Tom Waits. Particularly your initial
reaction to the music.
My own "baptism" was as follows..
In the Mid 80's I was at university in Liverpool &
used to share a house with a number of other students
including a well cool Irish guy. It was customary at
the time, to blast out your music at top volume & you
could hear lots of different music as you moved round
the house.
Mick, my irish friend, used to continually play Tom
Waits, I think he only had Asylum Years but he played
it a lot!!
I can remember my first impression was not good, I
recall telling him it sounded like he was beating a
tramp to death in the kitchen.
Shows what little I knew (and I hate to think about
what my own choice of music was back in those days)
within a few short months I had completely fallen in
love with all things TW & was working my way through
the back catalogue.
20 years later and the love affair is still going
strong (I figure being a TW fan is like joining the
mafia, once you are in, you are in for life) topped
off this year with my first live experience in London
last week.
All thanks due to Mick for the introduction.
Anyway that's my story, I'd love to hear yours...
