I love this time of year in California, in Winter/Spring when the green grass abounds. I have for years now wanted to make a video of my favorite Tom Waits tune, surrounded by a green world. Here it is! I find an added poignancy this year, watching the green grass spring up over lands that were recently burned by the fires; they are brilliant emerald now. A reminder that amidst loss and destruction there comes healing and regrowth.

So, last month I went to see Rachel(of Lake Street Dive) and Vilray in San Fran; they were wonderful and I was super inspired by Vilray's quirky classic songwriting for Billie Holiday and Fats Waller and the like. So I decided to delve into my real books and pull out one of my favorite "1930's" tunes. This gem of a tune was written in 1923, lyrics added in 1938! I am no guitar player, but I hope you will enjoy anyhoo! |
