This morningās random discovery - two of my childhood heroes in one mashup?! Yes please.
Tom Waits - Godās Away on Business
āI grew up in the 60s. I was born in 57. That is my childhood music.ā

I was born in 65, my sister was born in 58. My grandparents owned a night club and, back in those days, kids could roam around bars. There was the jukebox, theyād buy the records then give them to us when people stopped playing them. My parents would sometimes bar tend or waitress to help out and give us some dimes to play electromechanical pinball games. Smoke was so heavy, at the end of the night Iād hide in the back and close my eyes because they burned when I was there on a Friday or Saturday.
Some of my early musical memories.
Timothy was supposedly based on the 1963 mine disaster in Sheppton Pa. At least that was the claim of folks who lived in the area.
Steve Harley and Cockney Rebel - Make Me Smile (1975)
Sherbet - Howzat (1976)
Dragon - Are You Old Enough (1978)
Split Enz - I See Red (1979)
My extended family owned a supper club south of Green Bay and we kids were always encouraged to run around and explore. The juke box was pretty bad but it had a lot of Steve Miller and Eagles. We all loved to joke and laugh to this one
