Tom Waits & The Go Betweens

 
From The Go Betweens Facebook page.
 
'Robert Vickers had left in a fit of pique, ''tired of working with three maniacs." Stuck in New York, we found this guy, who said he wanted to join. Turns out, he didn't play bass but the piano. He had some songs of his own that weren't bad, and when we were rehearsing "Bachelor Kisses", he mumbled to us (he did talk in a funny way) that the song was good enough for Roy Orbison. The rehearsals over a weekend didn't work out and Vickers came back. All that's left is one shot snapped by a stranger, on our way to a Bowery practice room.

Anyhow, happy birthday to "Tom", wherever you may be.'
