Comments:
The next time you and your friend Jerry are having a conversation about what the first-ever commercially released Keneally performance on disc was, boy, will Jerry be surprised!
Jerry: Surely it was "Broadway the Hard Way" in 1988?
You: Nope!
Jerry: The little-known "Damn These Pants" from '82?
You: No, sir!
Jerry: Damn you, you! What is?
And then you whip out your copy of "Yayo" by Burning Bridges. BB are buddies of mine from way back, one of whom, Andy Vereen, was in the band Graphic with my brother and I. Andy also sings on "hat" and is mentioned by name in "Here is Why". I think I covered this ground somewhere else on the page, but hey. And the recently released "Trummerflora" involves several Bridge denizens as well. So our relationship is long, and standing.
Actually using the term "commercially released" is slightly misleading, as the only way to procure "Yayo" was to purchase BB 's first single (which I believe was "World In Motion", and screw me if I'm wrong) and find within it a brief piece of paper hawking a free copy of "Yayo" on red flexi-material if'n you only would send the brief piece of paper in. And then in the mail you'd get it, and you'd put it on and play it and hear a joyous little shouter with tasty organic fills from yers truly. Then the record would end and you'd do something else.
Probably no longer available but write to Accretions anyway and tell them I said hi (PO Box 81973 San Diego CA 92138).
