Happy Birthday to the Great Tom Waits...and to Tiny Tom too!
Tom Waits was born on December 7th, 1949 to Alma and Jesse Frank Waits. He once said he'd been "conceived one night in April 1949 at the Crossroads Motel in La Verne, amidst broken bottles of Four Roses, the smoldering Lucky Strike, half a tuna salad sandwich, and the Old Spice across the railroad tracks..." It's probably not true at all....but I can't help but love his lies.

Tom Waits Quote of the Month
November has tied me to an old dead tree
get word to April to rescue meNovember's cold chain made of wet boots and rain
and shiny black ravens on chimney smoke lanes
November seems odd you're my firing squad
November
"November" The Black Rider (1993)

Tiny Tom at Bottle Village
Tiny Tom recently took a trip to the wonderful and whimsical Grandma Prisbrey's Bottle Village. Tressa Prisbrey began building her masterpiece at the age of 61, spending the next 25 years of her life collecting discarded bottles and baubles to create the folk-art sanctuary that still stands today. This colony of oddities was the perfect place for a Tiny Tom photo shoot...and here's what we got.
