Sounds Like Live at The Hemlock, San Francisco, September 2005. I was performing in SF with "THE BLACK RIDER", the Tom Waits/Robert Wilson/William Burroughs Theatrical collaboration. I did some shows with members of the band, including, in this clip, my perennial collaborator, the one and only David Coulter (violin), Kate St John (accordion), and Bonfire Madigan Shive (Cello) The other vocalist is the great Matt McGrath, (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm05 69847/)who played the lead in The Black Rider and is a truly wonderful artist blessed in equal part with a vast talent and a disarming modesty. I dedicate this clip to all my colleagues and friends made during the 2 unforgettable years of touring the Black Rider round the world.
