I'm a big Clash/Mescaleros/Big Audio/Havana 3 AM fan and never heard this--surprised.

I believe you are thinking of Mick Ronson.

Tom Waits with Bette Midler on "I Never Talk to Strangers" has always been a favorite of mine. I Never Talk to Strangers And speaking of Bette Midler, although they never collaborated musically, she was once the girlfriend of Jerry Nolan, drummer from the New York Dolls and Johnny Thunders and the Heartbreakers.

Thanks, Douglas...looking forward to it.

Have browsed this forum off and on and decided I should join in the conversation. Have been playing since I was 15, which was many years ago. Favor Fenders ('76 P, '84 MIJ Jazz Bass Special, '12 MIM Jazz, '99 P/J hybrid (Jazz w/ a P neck), '69 Mustang) but also play a '69 Gibson EB-1 and a heavily modified '76 Rick 4001. Built a Warmoth Tele bass a few years ago that I love. Play lots of R'n'R mixed with reggae and Latin influences. Most of my time is spent writing and recording.. dg
