It was great and fully booked. The stage featured the front end of a white Cadillac and a New York style lamp post, a microphone stand and a heavy smoking Tom with a tumbler of whiskey. The audience loved him.
I haven’t heard much of him on radio of recent years and the rumour-mill has it that he has lost his voice. It could be argued that is natural progression as he was a chain smoking drinker....probably helped by other substances for many years.
Driving today I listened to several Wait’s (Tom’s) tracks and realised that my favourite track is Kentucky Avenue. As I understand it, it is perhaps a moving eulogy to a friend...quite likely imagined, who is crippled.
Listen to Kentucky avenue here on YouTube.

Don't know what Blogger is doing to my post. I can't seem to correct the dual post.
