Tom Waits For No Man
Went to see a fabulous tribute to the work of Tom Waits by an artist who equals Waits ever increasing gravel voice. (An Aussie artist by the name of D'Arrietta). The performance was fabulous, the band was magnificent. They performaned many of Waits' best like Tom Trauberts Blues , The piano has been drinking (not me) - one of my favourites. The embarrassing thing was that I read about the concert through my email subscription to Ticketek, noticed the Tom Waits concert and immediately bought it on-line. It was only weeks later, as the concert time approached that I realised it was a tribute/cover for Tom Waits, not Tom Waits. I felt cheated and went back to the original email to prove that I had been deceived - but it plainly said what it was. I saw what I wanted to see, not what was there. I felt very silly. Luckily, it didn't matter in the end, because I enjoyed it so much.
