about

(music – Kaiser, Prince, Keneally; lyrics – West)
This started as an improvised duet by Henry on six-string bass and Prairie on drums. When I was doing overdubs I wrote the little guitar melody which starts and ends the piece, and learned the weird chordal thing that Henry improvised from 0:15 – 0:21 so I could play it in unison with him. The poem was written by Andy and recited by me with a cold. There’s a set of lyrics called “TRANQUILLADO” which I was going to try to partially adapt to this music, but I decided to save them for the next album.

HK – six-string bass
MK – spoken word, guitar, synth at end
PP – drums

lyrics

Scottie dogs are great
They run and play and chew things
They know what is good

I have been a huge fan of the great MIKE KENEALLY for many years. He is such a brilliant talent! I’m really really enjoying the latest MFTJ album a great deal. “What Wally Thinks” and “I Remember When Candy Bars Were A Nickel” respectively are a perfect one-two punch to open up an album! I’ll be enjoying this one for a long long time!! Danny Cavazzi
