FULL TRANSCRIPT
One of the weirdest times in my life was getting parenting advice from Tom Waits.
I’m a huge fan of Tom Waits. I’ve remastered all of his records except for the Island Records. We did that when I was still in LA 2016.
It was about a year and a half project. We did a lot of it remote, but he did attend a couple of the sessions and very, very involved. Tom and Kathleen are very involved in all that.
So it, it was very much a collaborative effort. It’s. Amazing to be able to work on these records that I’m a fan of. Tom waits the God it’s crazy to work with him.
It’s like, okay, I can get hit by a bus tomorrow and everything’s cool. That’s the, that’s as good as it gets.
