“and the things you can’t remember tell the things you can’t forget
that history puts a saint in every dream”
“That Feel
Tom Waits
Well there’s one thing you can’t lose
It’s that feel
Your pants, your shirt, your shoes
But not that feel
Throw it out in the rain, you can whip it like a dog
You can chop it down like an old dead tree
You can always see it
When you’re coming into town
Once you hang it on the wall you can never take it down
But there’s one thing you can’t lose
And it’s that feel
You can pawn your watch and chain
But not that feel
Always comes and finds you, it will always hear you cry
I cross my wooden leg and I swear on my glass eye
It will never leave you high and dry
Never leave you loose
It’s harder to get rid of than tattoos
But there’s one thing you can’t lose, it’s that feel
But there’s one thing you can’t lose, it’s that feel
You can throw it off a bridge, you can lose it in the fire
You can leave it at the altar, it will make you out a liar
Fall down in the street, you can leave it in the lurch
Well, you say that it’s gospel but I know that it’s only church
And there’s one thing you can’t lose
And it’s that feel
It’s that feel
You can’t lose, and it’s that feel, oh yeah
One thing you can’t lose, and it’s that feel
You can’t lose, and it’s that feel”

“They say that I have no hits and that I’m difficult to work with. And they say that like it’s a bad thing.”

“Louis Prima 12.7.10”
Legendary wing nut born and died in music rich New Orleans. He specialized in performing in a particularly unglued style. Much under appreciated for his rocko-stylistic-proportions!
