This is one of my favorites! Great take and wonderful hat! Perfectly nailed the balance here, I could hear the guitar and vocals both so clearly. Really liked your vocals and it does seem like Tom Waits tunes are a so well suited for you. Much love - Carl
Hey, thanks Carl. Hehe, I'm hoping to set a trend amongst some of the @openmic'rs to fancy dress up a bit.
I love dressing up for parties (growing old is mandatory, growing up isn't 😉). I used to watch all the girls on the scene, bringing lots of colour into the rooms, it helped the atmosphere of fun times, so I thought I should make the same effort. Loved it ever since!
Glad you like this one so much bro, I really am. Yes I love Tom Waits songwriting, my all time #1 spot for songwriter in fact. Crosses so many genres but always unmistakenly Tom Waits. His songs so often give me a strong vision, a testament to his ability of getting the essence of the human condition in songs, seemingly effortlessly.
I've always thought if his songs were to be catagorised in photographic genre terms, he'd definitely be a 'street' photographer, again, the purpose being to capture the essence of the human condition, in its myriad of ways.
Thanks for dropping in with some feedback bro. Big Love
