TOM WAITS event with DAVID SMAY
Booksmith
talk & booksigning for "Swordfishtrombones"
Friday, March 14 at 7:00 pm
at The Booksmith (1644 Haight Street in San Francisco)
Swordfishtrombones, the now legendary 1983 album by Tom Waits, was a
watershed recording for the idiosyncratic artist. It not only revived
his career, but signaled a significant change in the artist's personal
life as well. David Smay's new book, Swordfishtrombones (which is part
of the 33 1/3 series), tells the story of the making of this
remarkable album, once named the second best of all-time.
David Smay is a San Francisco music writer whose earlier books include
Bubblegum Music Is the Naked Truth: The Dark History of Prepubescent
Pop, from the Banana Splits to Britney Spears and Lost in the Grooves:
Scram's Capricious Guide to the Music You Missed.
