  • Hey Charlie, I traded the harp for the piano. Take a seat, the first drink is on the house.
    Tom Waits is on the menu tonight, as Chekhov’s harp keeps a watchful eye.

    That last tickle on the Harp was incredible Naomi.
    Your performance in this piano cover had a sentient touch to the song.

    I was fooled at first by the deer and the harp and all the heartfelt covers... but its starting to add up; fan of Nick Cave, apparently fan of Bo Burnham, flat out admitting to wanting to be a (Disney) villain.... best of luck on your world domination schemes, lets hope we don't interfere with one another.

      It's so hard to pick favourites. Hell broke Luce is great, god's away on business, is fab, and "in the neighbourhood" or Tom Taubert's blues" are pretty high up there for me.
      Just like I'm sure sometimes you find yourself listening to Cohen for days, and then suddenly wake up humming "red right hand" or "dig Lazarus dig" to yourself.
