Tom Waits, still from video

"Listen to the tenor saxophone callin' me home": it might be the best 3 minutes of your day. Check out Tom Waits in this performance of "I Wish I Was In New Orleans". It's a song from his 1976 album Small Change, recorded in 1979, live at Le Palace Theatre in Paris; the grainy, black-and-white makes it feel much older than that.
