'Lessons'
There's a lady plays her fav'rite records/On the jukebox ev'ry day/All day long she plays the same old songs/And she believes the things that they say/She sings along with all the saddest songs/And she believes the stories are real/She lets the music dictate the way that she feels.
My long lost HS friend was telling me that she had tickets to see Tom Waits in 1999. She was pregnant at the time, and her son came early, two days before the concert, so she had to give her tickets up.
Awwww. I have a bootleg from his 1999 concert at the Paramount Theater in Oakland if your friend would like it. Fantastic show.
Hey, I just leaned of an even better deal with the link I gave you above. Instead of AFF01, use coupon code 15%COUPON at checkout for a 15% discount on your InstrumentPro order over $99!
Hey Jon - I tried using this, but the site says this coupon code isn't valid. Maybe it's already expired?
I think she's made peace with it by now...
The other thing we talked about is that she had heard a rumor that Waits had land in Cape Breton (a lot of NY artist types do). But I had never heard that rumor. I know he was in a movie Robert Frank directed that was partially shot in Cape Breton. [link]

Ohhh. I'd like it.

Candy Mountain - I've seen that movie. It's OOP now and expensive to get.
Ohhh. I'd like it.
It'd probably be easier to post it to Buffistarawk than mail it to Israel. I also have a high quality boot of Tom doing a live, in-studio concert at a radio station from 1975 too for fans of his earlier stuff.
Is there a term for musical instruments that can play any pitch and that force the musician to find the right notes by ear?
indeed. it's called a pitch pipe.

Now you're just making me drool.
Thanks, David! (Hey, if I can repay with any Twilight Singers/Afghan Whigs bootlegs, or bootlegs at all, just say the word).

Bummer. I guess it's expired. The 5% one should still work, though.

A pitch pipe is not a fretless instrument...

I saw it in the theater when it came out. My friend's grandmother was in it. Robert Frank is a neighbor.
Cor, you'll appreciate this. I was looking at a SF Giants baseball board and the question came up of what music to choose as your walk-up music as a batter, or intro as a closer. Somebody chose, "Non-Alignment Pact":
You know, Pere Ubu’s classic, ominous, evil-sounding squeals before the song (great as it is), even gets going. I mean, something so weirdly portentious, the Enter Sandman geeks will probably spend the first at-bat trying to claw out their eardrums.
Somebody else took "Sun Ship" by John Coltrane.
Emmett has already decided that if he were a closer he'd use "Thunderstruck" by AC/DC.
I would opt for "Search and Destroy" by the Stooges, or possibly "Neat Neat Neat" by the Damned.
