about

(An alternate version of “The Scorpions” from the Inkling album, with different lead guitar and sax tracks.)

"Salve‐Dependent Scorpions" is an alternate take of an instrumental piece from the upcoming multi‐volume work SCAMBOT. The basic track was recorded on analog tape by Tom Trefethen, and has me on Hammond organ, Rick Musallam on electric guitar, Bryan Beller on bass and Joe Travers on drums. (This was, surprisingly to me, the first studio session of the Guitar Therapy Live version of the Keneally Band.) Later at Chatfield Manor we overdubbed two takes of Evan Francis on alto sax, and two takes of me on lead guitar.

The version which will be on SCAMBOT will be entitled "The Scorpions" and will feature such completely different guitar and sax performances that it's essentially another composition. Have to admit to a strong Frank influence on the guitar performance.

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
