What is the word Tom Waits keeps repeating in "Such A Scream" - it
sounds like Faro, Faro; Faro, Faro?

I just listened to the song to try and help you - I couldn't figure
out what repeated word you were talking about before the listen and
still cannot, after - can you tell me when you think you hear it?

I think mr. Brazee means the Glitter & Doom version where the band
arrangment has some accentuated beats that Tom sings along with. I don`t
percieve them as actual words though, just in the world of "da-dum da-dum."

That's what I listened to - I'm keeping it until I can buy a CD of
that concert.

Well, in any case - thanks for the heads up - what an AWESOME concert.
I hope to hell they do an official cd release!

Howard -- you are a Waits fan too?

He is a very dangerous thing to a golf game if he gets in your head on the
course...

I have a book that included a CD of golf swing rhythms. I copied
them to my iPod, but we can't use iPods while playing.

Waits music wouldn't be ideal for keeping a smooth, unchanging swing
rhythm.

Except for his song, "Come On Up To The Green."

I became a Waits fan in 1976 when "Tom Traubert's Blues (Four Sheets
to the Wind In Copenhagen)" came out.

I started playing golf at my son-in-law's bachelor party in 1997.

I owned a record store in the 70's & into the 80's -- I found his 1st
release & have been a serious addict since then.

I cannot even think about Raindogs without getting a hitch in my swing. --
