I like you because you picked up the accordian. Great instrument. I'm going to get one [= I play piano, guitar & ukulele so far. Hoping to master many instruments. Big Waits fan. I agree with the person way below @xAnesthesiAx.
I REALLY enjoy Tom Waits, his music and poetry! GhastlyH has shared a good rendition and a bit of himself with us all. Thanks!! I hope many view your vid and enjoy your efforts!
nice.very impressive waits impression..it would have been perfect if u would have accompanied tht with a little guitar...like the original is....btw is it easy to play the accordian??
I'm not much of a guitarist, but very proficient on accordion. I had about 18 years experience on keyboards when I picked up accordion so it wasn't much of a learning curve. The buttons are set up in a circle of 5ths and they keyboard is the same as a piano's. It's one of my favourite instruments to play.
A gentleman is someone who knows how to play the accordion but does not. ............. The difference between an accordion and an onion... people cry when you chop up an onion.
If you want to sound like him you have to feel the music and sing it subdued like him, not just with a scratchy voice. Theres so much more to his voice than that
Well first, I don't want to create bad feeling -- we're all here cuz we dig Tom Waits. So first, Hi. But I think Ghastly feels it strong. It's not a copy of the album version, it's felt and personalized. I like it a lot.
like seriously, i think im in love...

Oh. My. Gourd. Nerdgasm, Uncle Ghastly. Total, pants-blowing-off nerdgasm. (Seriously! My pants blew off from the power of this nerdgasm!)
You are my hero, Ghastly, and your rendition of this song is fantastic.

Anyone who likes this ought to check out some music by Jason Webley. You'll love him. Sounds kind of like Tom Waits and plays the accordion.
