about

(music – The Mistakes; lyrics – Kaiser)
Another tune which began as a Henry/Prairie improvised six-string bass/drum duet. In fact all four of the spoken word pieces were built on top of Henry/Prairie duets. Unlike the other three, Andy overdubbed an anchor bass to give it some foundation (Andy’s bass is in the middle, Henry’s on the left). I overdubbed a couple of guitars, and the firefly piano at 0:18 and 0:25, plus the synth at the end (all the spoken word pieces end with the same three chords played on synth, a little unifying device for ya there).

HK – six-string bass
MK – spoken word, guitars, Wurlitzer electric firefly piano, synth at end
PP – drums
AW – bass

lyrics

A wet fox
Coughs at midnight
Surrounded by fireflies

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
