Tom Traubert's Blues (Waltzing Mathilda) - Tom Waits (piano)

Me playing Tom Traubert's Blues (aka: Waltzing Mathilda, aka something with 4 sheets and the wind and Copenhagen) by Tom Waits on the piano.
This one always made me cry when I was a kid (and didn't even speak English.. I only understood a word here and there and until I got older I always thought this song was about a man's last dance with his wife before she died...guess I was a sentimental 5 year old).

Please don't ask for the sheetmusic (if usually leave those comments, if I'm in a bad mood I delete them, but I never reply so it's useless. Google or buy.)

Hey, how about playing "Picture in a Frame" next!

To all those who ask "Where'd you get the sheet music?" It's available in the Tom Waits Anthology, order online or from your local music store!

OMG where did you get the sheet music for this? I have been looking everywhere!

[NanneJH]

Wow, great! Sounds very good! Where did you get the sheet music? I´ve only one with a very simple left hand accompaniment. But yours sounds so great!

heel mooi gespeeld :)

I am jealous. Glad you put your talent o a non classical masterpiece. Waits is a genius and although technically might not be Mozart, he is a bloody good musician.

You have the emotion nailed. The notes are just notes. Nicely done. thanks

You know he has a few different ways he plays this song and changes it up every time in the live performances. He is huge on improv (which is something I love about Tom Waits) like a chameleon, he's always changing - including his voice <3

You're doing okay for read sheet music.

Try playing it from memory. I bet that'd come out rather lovely.
