Tom Waits has got to be one of the most unusual people on the planet. When you see him like this, awkwardness personified during the interview, you wonder what he's all about. But then he sits down at that piano and something magical occurs. He starts to sing in that gravelly voiced rasp, piano keys tinkling, and you get the feeling that he is penetrating into some fundamental realities, tapping into things we know and feel but can barely touch, and pulling them out for us to see.

@DocSnout Very good observation. I thought he did a great job of interacting with a person that few people would comprehend at all. He obviously admires Tom Waits a lot and I think Waits actually enjoyed the interaction between them on the show.

True artist,I luv classics thanx for sharing!!
-
this man is a true legend!!

does anyone else notice how rock solid and soothingly rhythmic tom's playing on the piano is, esp. given he's singing too? put another star up next to his name.

@23flowergirl- I couldn't agree more, except I would dead the whole pack lol ;D

He played Melbourne on my 3rd birthday :D

@WingnutDishwasher Once he started playing - dead silence.
I love it.

@WingnutDishwasher but its like he plans it that way, as if he likes the feeling of surprise when people realises how great he is

Everyone in the audience was kind of laughing at him, not taking him seriously. The second he starts to play piano everyone falls in love with him, you can feel it.

His voice and phrasings make complete sense when in front of a piano.

Love Tom Waits. I don't understand why so people hate on Don Lane though. He's not condescending, he's obviously just having fun with Tom. It would be ridiculous for a host not to acknowledge how eccentric that man is, seeing as how it's what everyone else is thinking. And the way he plays off it is really entertaining.
