Some funky ass shit w/a baroque break in the middle, and jazz flute to boot. My compliments to you sir.

There is at least one other, “The Yo Yo Song” by Mo and Jo on Lita records. The flip side is “Yo, Yo Some Mo”. It was co-written by Gaynel Hodge (co-writer of the Penguins’ :”Earth Angerl” and produced by Kim Fowley.) It has a slide whistle at the beginning and it segues into a nice groove afterwards.

Thanks Larry, great track and story. I love Fine Wine, love ‘FMU. I came really close to catching one of his Botanica sets a couple months ago. Darnit. So does this mean he has some NOS Tuba stuff? ; )

Oh yeah, another earth shattering attendance record yesterday…

I am a proud member of the mighty WFMU. In fact, the premium I received from last year’s donation (”They Were Sure Busy Standing In Those Shadows Of Motown”, a Fine Wine compilation) has this track. It’s a friggin’ monster!

Great record and great post Larry.
That piano sounds very much like Young Holts Wack Wack.
Cheers Tony.

Cheers Larry - “funky-ass, funkity funk” - you can’t go wrong with a recommendation like that! Pretty much nails it as well.
