She's A Rose, She's A Pearl

the best gift no one knew I was getting

Cookie Waits

I knew it!

I never have seen them in the same place at the same time.

For A Dawn Of Redeeming Grace

for the world over

Gift For A Coin Slot Baby

For Yuula's birthday I convinced Cookie Monster to cover Tom Waits' "God's Away On Business". I thought it would make the perfect gift for a one year old. Hope she likes it!

Interesting Things To Be Doing With The Air

I'm a closet Tom Waits fan. I just steal his one-liners.

I got to see him live before I die. Or before he dies.

Who doesn't love this man?

I too will be leaving to go on tour this summer, once more into the fray. Check out these major metropolises I'll be hitting up:

Springfield, PA
Johnstown, PA
Chambersburg, PA
Toledo, OH
Ypsilanti, MI
Erie, PA
Beverly, MA
Bristol, RI
Clifton, NJ
Coatesville, PA
Chesapeake, VA
Columbia, SC
Alpharetta, GA
Orlando, FL
Ocean Springs, MS
Lafayette, LA
Houston, TX
Allentown, PA
Bloomington, IN

So I guess the guiding word for my summer tour will be

S.J.C.T.Y.E.B.B.C.C.C.C.A.O.O.L.H.A.B.

Can you pronounce that one? How bout those four C's in a row? I'm not even gonna try to chart that onto a map because I'm sure there's no corresponding night constellation. And I'm not in the mood for acronyms. But I do have to come up with a fancy tour name like the Glitter & Doom Tour. Maybe the Hard Way Home Tour or better yet, The Tour To End All Tours. Yeah, I like that one.
