Tom Waits

25 things you might not know about Tom Waits, like “Waits’ favourite is the Chamberlain Music Master 600; an early analog synthesizer that contains inbuilt samples of everything from galloping horses to owls hooting.”

I couldn’t find much on the Chamberlain Music Master except this modest page. Drop a comment if you find something Music Master related.

    I’ve actually played around with one of these, once.

    Also, I’m going to Bumpershoot in Seattle this year. Is anyone else?

    Oh, I just saw Waits in St. Louis, wonderful, wonderful.

    Funny, my roommate was at that concert. I wanted to go, but it just wasn’t feasible.

    Yeah, it was one of my big expenditures for the century. Ol’ Tom knows how to bilk ‘em.

    By the way, on the 25th I’m playing a show in Denver if anyone wants to go.

    I’d love to see Waits live. I really liked his concert movie that came out I think in the late 80’s.

    Too far for my scooter but next time you pass through St. Louis, jandek (or anyone for that matter), drop me a line.
