So Delbert Bennett plays trumpet on 3 songs from Tom Waits’s debut album. Plays mute beautifully (if imperfectly) on the final title track “Closing Time” & then, as far as i can tell, is never heard from on record again.

In this difficult year, i wrote a lot. i don’t know if any of it will see print, but i wrote about drums & dance; bridges & corners; place & memory; life & death. The hardest thing i wrote was abt my Ma, who taught me how to write. My guide is gone, but i’ll continue to write for her in every word.
