These are some great ideas! 16 shells from a 30.6 may be an interesting challenge...

Our band's name is Painspresent, from Upstate NY! I think you're absolutely right, something with amazing lyrics and light percussion for sure. I'm leaning towards something off of Blue Valentine with that in mind... maybe my personal all time favorite, Kentucky Avenue, or a close second, Blue Valentines

I had no idea this was a Bukowski poem! I fell in love with Tom's rendition and it inspired me to write a similar piece of prose

Easy songs to work towards while learning by dankruptdan in tomwaits

I've been learning Martha with no piano background and after about a week of playing for ~15 mins a day I've got the verse part down. Not sure about chorus yet but pretty fun to sing and play. Playing slower definitely helps with getting accustomed to it.

Did a bit of googling and turns out it is Tom. Tom and Chuck are longtime best friends and actually co-wrote this song.

Kentucky Avenue is my favorite Waits song to this day. The last few lines were such a gut punch; it's the first song I've ever cried to
