This is a weird one. I guess theyre doing this thing called "FUMBLING WITH THE BLUES" and its a night of all Tom Waits covers from various local musicians. I think something weird is going on like some of us from the band are going to be the house band or something. Im not really too shure yet. I know we will at the very least be playing SOMETHING.. but what yet I dont know. Heres what I say: if you are in one of the other bands and want someone to play on yer song.. call me. I will play any Waits song at any time for any reason. Just putting it out there. thats all Im saying. So yeah. maybe you should come to this one. I figure youll either love it or cringe. who knows....
