Nice I could be wrong, but... gudkarma is probably not doing a "Tom Waits impersonation," very good or otherwise. I think this is his voice. Pretty hard to do something like Tom consistently, pretty hard to do an impersonation and still get into your material. Not attacking you on this. I said pretty much the same once, but after listening to more of his work, think the brother ain't got a lot of choice. He was nice enough to read one of my pieces and probably nine out of ten people I played the track for made the comparison to Tom Waits. I got tired or hearing it, not sure if gudkarma does or not. Personally, I'd love it if someone compared me to someone so talented, but calling what's being done here an impersonation lessens the piece. It's its own thing. Wonder if Tom gets tired of being compared to Steven? --- -- Is there a meaning to all this? www.thisflapfirst.com Check out my latest song called Gardens

mr waits i presume? ......thanks c, but i dont take too much offense to it....you are right i do hear it all the time. anyone that hears my play and perform on stage ( i use that the word STAGE loosely) has always likened me to tom waits... it just happens my voice when relaxed and loose is deep and gravel like. i think its very different than tom waits...but its what people can associate with it quickly. i some times want to explain i dont TRY to sound like tom waits. i think when people say that i sound like him they are simply complimenting me...of course if they said my music was as good as his....then its a compliment...but having similar voice characteristics.....ah. which brings me to....how much is the voice an instrument? i'd like to say its a whole other instrument...in that way i try to use all the ways my voice can sound. i think you can hear so many styles in my recordings on here. its not annoying to hear that from someone....unless of course they called me a tom waits wannabe......hehehe. then i might have to put sixteen shells in the thirty-ought-six......and then be dragged away in a big black mariah! ok. i could go on but i'll stop. : ) Check out my latest song called Ocean The

Unsettling for us... ...but not for the birds. The music conveys the cold of winter, the feeling of uneasiness. It helped me imagine the scene--not knowing whether to be in awe or what... I found a cat frozen just outside my house recently. It had gone down to -40 (-50 with the wind). I kinda felt sorry for the cat. Then I was reminded of the IKEA commercial with the lamp. Nice to see you back around, Gud. Your comments on my early stuff really encouraged me to do more. Oh, and I think the photo is very great. Check out my latest song called Wake Up (Pooey Remix)

mysterious moment This recorded poem represents a great implementation of GarageBand, where the combination of a gritty baritone, the ethereal music and the sonic effects capture a mysterious moment in the dead of winter. The line "all those dreams never again to take flight" aptly eulogizes the harshness of the event. I like the way the piece doesn't try to be anything more than it is - the retelling of a eerie, unexpected encounter in the woods - a short lament for some small creatures, because in this way I think it speaks volumes. Check out my latest song called Pushing and Pulling

That is a creepy scene to come across.
You do a very good Tom Waits impersonation. I like the simplicity of the music. Seems like it could use something that conveys the environment, something wind-like, something creaking like the frozen forest.
