On A Foggy Night

The clouds are hanging low, and it is like being a gorilla in the mist.  This weather will be hanging around for days.  Yeah, the weather is a big topic of conversation here in Upper Midwest.  This is because noting of importance happens.  Every day is the same except for the weather.  This pattern breaks the mold.  It also reminds me of the song by Tom Waits from the album "Nighthawks at the Diner" which is "On a Foggy Night."  I would like to find the song to share with you, but there are none to be had on youtube.  So, these will have to do: "Eggs and Sausage"; and "Emotional Weather Report."  There is more from this show: "Ghosts of Saturday Night/Heart of Saturday"; "Better Off Without A Wife" (This song is kind of an unoffical anthem for me at this time.)  Here is the link for the entire show.  In case if you didn't know the connection of Tom Waits to the Grateful Dead, he was on the CD by Ken Nordine called "Devout Catalyst."  The piece is called "A Thousand Bing Bangs."  The background music is done by Jerry Garcia and David Grisman.
