Table Top Joe

Years ago I worked at a café not far from my parents' home. It was without question the best job I've ever had. I loved the people I worked with and more so, I loved the customers, many of whom became lifelong friends. I often think of those individuals who I may no longer be in contact with but who touched my life in such a way as to change me forever. One such person was Dave Vaughn. It is because of him that I can now say that Tom Waits is my favourite voice. Alice came out and Dave was obsessed with it. He put it on full blast in the café and I fell in love with every beautiful track. Dave was a fabulous guy with an endearing smile and a charming laugh. He played the tuba and looked like a young Donal Logue.
