sharp as a razor and soft as a prayer... oh to have such writing talent!

[@tommyhaynes9157]

Tom Waits is my favorite beat writer

[@proiyt]

Great way to see his piano technique. He can reach more than an octave without problems. Strange hands. Thanks for uploading

[@ihavethepoweriswear]

gorgeous piano rolls.

[@Feuerkindjana]

...and here I thought I saw almost all there is about and with Tom ...THANK YOU FOR PROVING ME WRONG! This is great! What a jewel.

[@difushi3721]

Outstanding. :o)

[@MicrocebusRufus1]

I love the stories Tom tells whit his piano accompaniment.

[@karlepaul6632]

Holy shit! Tangerine Dream's 'Rubycon part 2' is the lead-in music to this! I was happy to find this video, but hearing Tangerine Dream's music starting it off is an added bonus!😊👍🏻(...in case you couldn't tell, I'm a Tangerine Dream fan! lol) A genuine thank you, so very much for sharing this video. It was terrific, and a great way to end my day! 😉😊

This is one of the absolute best Tom Waits videos on youtube. Thank you so much for sharing this. Its good to see honest Tom, before any one cared who he was and he was just having fun.

[@AlfSpungie]

Does anybody know how his hands came to be bent upwards like that?

[@coreycox2345]

I am guessing that he is double jointed Helen haslam.

[@MrCrayztrain]

there's a lot of good footage, but some of the best songs cut off in the middle - torment

[@styxcreek]

Ahh, guy below had my question in reverse . Should've read a few comments first.

[@adgalati]

man that piano is out of tune, but it still sounded great

[@styxcreek]

A cross between who and Dostoyevsky ?

Nathan Parsons Anthony "Andy" Granatelli (March 18, 1923 - December 29, 2013) was an American businessman

[@Jessethebot]

Good stuff. Obviously before he gave up drinking.

[@phomiffy]

kind of a cross between andy granatelli and ?????

[@heycat6844]

phomiffy dostoievski

[@HELVETSILD]

he has a put on accent?

[@acekdxyz]

Dostoyevsky

.....transacted the tumors that I've mirrored. Goodnight to the straitjackets, and the beekeepers zoo... and goodnight, Godzilla, too.

[@MsCaleb79]

Tom just Waits for nothing to happen

[@ericamartinen6527]

this guy is annoying with his put on accent and affectations

[@styxcreek]

he dropped the whole jazz hobo routine in the early 80s and became much more interesting

[@balanchuk]

Erica Martinen you probably miss the point ....a lot , struggle with even the simplest of revelations and oh ... your opinion is as valid as it is needed

[@sclogse1]

Annoying as a 30 year aged dark port.
