    "shore leave" is one of the main reasons i started playing guitar, love this Tom waits trilogy so much

    I worked at a youth hostel in Marin County, California years ago. The hostel manager told me that a couple of years before, they had a Cub Scout troop stay overnight. One of the parents/chaperones was Tom Waits. (Imagine the other chaperones reaction.) At one point my boss was in the men's room and Waits walked in and used the only other urinal. The hostel was a former Army hospital so the urinals were so close to each other you'd have to be careful not to bump elbows. But as is the case in men's rooms, no words were exchanged; no elbows were bumped. His near brush with fame. 😎

    Oddly serendipitous. I’ve been relistening to rain dogs on repeat for the last couple weeks. This record, bone machine and bad as me are my favs of his. One of the very few truly unique voices (literally and aesthetically) in lyrical music

    I thank you for getting to Tom Waits at last. Please feel free to do more; much more. I absolutely love Tom Waits- from the early bar singer/songwriter stuff to the bonkers noize, there's no bit of his vast, diverse catalogue that I don't think is brilliant.

    Great song choice and a fantastic lesson! I was lucky enough to see Waits play this live in 2004 with Ribot on guitar - it was the best live show I've ever seen.

    You had Ribot's tone nailed...luv the mans work, sometimes its just a note or two in songs (like Goin Out West) yet its perfect!!
    Neighbours are gonna hear me twangin for the next few days.... thankyou!

    I like the way you present player solutions as strategies, rather than "tricks". It's both refreshing and creative.
    And allows your audience to apply these "strategies" in other contexts. J'adore.

    New sub here. First heard this badass song in the Jarmusch flick "Down By Law" with Tom Waits.
    Yeah, the Rain Dogs is his best work IMHO, but anyway the passion in the guitar here is the whole reason I play.
    Good ear my friend.

    Thank you yet again. My associates in noise making will be informed of this and Jockey Full of Bourbon will be in our set soon. First saw Tom Waits way back in Sydney in 1979..... 'game changer' wasn't a word back then but you get the idea of the effect it had....

  • @maxwellbowden9961
    @maxwellbowden9961 7 місяців тому +1

    Awesome. I was thinking samba. Rain Dogs is my favourite Tom Waits album too. I read once where someone had referred to Marc Ribot's playing as being "wrong". To which he replied if its wrong, why does it sound good to me? A lot to do with our desire to classify, compartmentalise notes into scales and "Right" notes i think. More power to him I say!

  • @Andrew-ic8tx

      I came across this track last year as I was positive it was related in some way to BB! The them was a by Johnathan Whitehead (aka Trellis) who did a lot of C4 music around that time (and more besides). The theme's only short, but it would be good one to figure out an extended version though

    Marc Ribot was heavily influenced by legendary Cuban "tresero" and composer Arsenio Rodríguez. I've been listening to both of them lately and Ribot's covers of classic Arsenio Rodríguez tunes are brilliant!

    He said I'd rather have a bottle in front of me than a frontal lobotomy. Christ died for our sins, was buried, and rose again the third day. Not by works that I have done, nothing but the blood of Jesus. Romans 3: 20-28kjb. I'm also a Marc Robot fan. Robert Breaker how to know you're saved is a great video. This video is also very entertaining. You got just the right touch on the guitar. I'm trusting in nothing but the blood of Jesus to pay for my sins to keep me out of hell.

      @@baabaabaa-yp2jh I really appreciate that. You are very right It's a very weird life that I live because I go to a very good small church but I don't completely fit in with church people and I used to hang out with stoners. But I almost died a little over a year ago and it changed my life and all my stoner friends except one have ditched me because I've started doing this. I can't even mention the bands that were my favorite. Seth Putnam on The defenders of the hate album was my favorite. My best friend died of heart failure from using alcohol as pain medicine. Then I almost died from heart failure because I didn't stop drinking even after my friend died and the same thing almost happened to me. I have a weird heartbeat now and that with the nerve damage in my back and legs reminds me everyday. You don't have to change at all to be saved. You just have to accept the blood of atonement of Christ Jesus to pay for your sins by believing. After you are saved if you are good you earn rewards and if you are bad you suffer loss. I used to idolize the most weirdest people in our little city and go out to the local jam punk bar or whatever. I'm 36 years old now. Somebody put PCP on my weed before I hit puberty. I have had a really weird life and I stayed away from hard drugs for the most part except for alcohol. August 2022 is the last drink. I vape cannabis flower for pain. I am one weird lonely old skateboarder. Hope to see you in the cloud soon.
