  • The replacement 'stunt guitarist' for Steve Via in 1988. Imagine the size shoe Keneally had to fill?
    From Wikipedia: Keneally had called Zappa and said that he was "extremely familiar with all of his material and that he would be ready to play any of it for him given a short amount of preparation time", as he had already "been listening to Zappa's music for 16 years". "On the phone the day before the audition Frank had told me to have 'What's New in Baltimore?' and 'Sinister Footwear' ready for the next day's audition". On the way to the audition Keneally practiced the aforementioned songs, as well as "Little House I Used to Live in", and "every single Zappa melody I could think of, kind of as an exercise for my memory" as his brother Marty was driving the car.[1]

    BACKGROUND (by way of) EXPLAINATION
    I have been obsessively listening to Frank Zappa and The Mothers of Invention since the summer of 1979. Nonstop Zappa consumerism with some MOI thrown in. These videos seek to provide context to Frank Zappa’s entire body of work.
    AUDIO
    A few have suggested that I re-double my efforts and invest a little time in Audacity training for consistency in my audio editing. Thank you for the suggestions. This recording was normalized to -1db and compressed to -20db.

    When somebody can pull off an impromptu rendition of "Inca Roads" alone with just an acoustic guitar and absolutely kill it, you know that ain't no ordinary human being.

    The Zappa Band was amazing to see live last year. They sounded amazing! I first saw Kineally with Beer for Dolphins opening for Steve Vai; mid 90’s. They traded solos, was AMAZING.

    Great vid, man. I've been a Keneally fan since seeing him in Zappa's Universe. Never looked back after I bought his first album. One of my favourite guitarists and songwriters for sure!
    Excellent channel too.
    You might like some of the music I make on my channel.
