Ok Bob, you asked for it! :lol: :lol:
I found a old picture of my cousin and I playing pass out at granma's house on christmas eve, about 1977. As i remember it was a Tom Waits christmas that year. It was my turn to pass out presents to the little ones , but i was the one passed out . :oops: That was the year i became the black sheep of the familly :lol: ( i grew out of it, don't worry :P )-- any way, i guess this is sorta a Tom Waits christmas card.

yo dog,

i like this one. definitly a fun song. i love it. great imagery, i can see this photo clearly in my head. the rewrite flows a whole lot better than the original. i didn't care too much for those short lines in the original, like that you lengthened them.

good job, would really like to hear this one.
