On the nickel

Tom Waits wrote it, but don’t listen to his version on YouTube—it reminded me of that scene in The Simpsons when pseudo-Christopher Walken was reading Goodnight Moon to a bunch of kids. If you can, listen to Georgette Fry sing this lullaby for grownups.

Our own Canadian jazz diva Holly Cole has an album of Tom Waits songs.

No, I didn't mean she happens to own one -- she recorded one. It's important to say what one means. Isn't that right, mm? :-)

Yes - one must always watch one's tongue around Deloney.
