Comment:

he once had a promising future and a good head on his shoulders, but Scarecrow 5 lost it all to the bottle: his wife, his home, his job, his friends... he hasn't seen his three children in over eight years. he gets by just living day by day. for the price of listening to a short sermon and some inspirational musical numbers, he's given a hot meal and comfortable bed at the Union Gospel Mission, and one of the cooks at the local Chinese restaurant sometimes gives him left-over egg rolls. one day soon he's going to quit all this drinking and turn his life around. just wait, you'll see. listen to side
one.
listen to side
two.

My favorite yet, though I did enjoy the cosmonaut one as well. Glad this particular mix remains uninfected.

You know your mixes drive me to drink, Mr. tornadoZ... when they aren't driving me to dance. Looks great, man! Can't wait.

I love the look of this one...a healthy dose of Waits never hurts, and like the Buck Owens and Pogues as well.

Was your beautiful mix title 'Drunk On The Stars' influenced by the title of that Tom Waits song? Call the Fraud Squad!!
Nah I take that back - original, exciting, inspiring, eclectic, kooky and carismatic as ever....

Before anyone points out my spelling error, I know, but apparently the correct way of spelling said word is a no-no ??
