I have been listening to his music for many years. Pure poetry in many cases.<br/><br/>My recommendations are as follows:<br/><br/>Closing Time...His first album (yes, album) with several classics done by bands such as the Eagles.<br/><br/>Nighthawks at the Diner...Each song builds on the previous with lots of great descriptive phrasing. If you want a good laugh, listen to "Better Off Without a Wife". Hey, Pastor!

Hope all of you are settling in well.

Tom Waits is a genius. I have been listening to his music for many years. Pure poetry in many cases.

My recommendations are as follows:

Closing Time…His first album (yes, album) with several classics done by bands such as the Eagles.

Nighthawks at the Diner…Each song builds on the previous with lots of great descriptive phrasing. If you want a good laugh, listen to “Better Off Without a Wife”.

We rented the <br/>3rd and 4th season of "24". It's<br/>great, esply w/o commercials! The<br/>one bad part is that once you've seen the 1st episode of a disk, you<br/>can't just wait til another night<br/>to see the rest. We've spent some<br/>nights watching the whole 4 episodes cause we just *had* to know what was going to happen next! Re: netflix DVD’s. We rented the

On the Album Mule Variations (which contains "What's he building in there?"), Waits has a song about a young girl who is murdered in which the refrain is "Why wasn't God Watching?" ... it is followed on the album by a gospel song entitled "Come on up to the House."
