“Boneless and Skinless” is such a cute ditty that is much more complicated than the trio would ever have let on that afternoon. Playing against swiftly shifting accents and time signatures were effortlessly cast off. It compared to Vince Guaraldi’s compositions written for The Peanuts television specials. The audience seemed to enjoy hearing the story behind “Boneless and Skinless” as much as the performance itself. Dodo’s delivery from the stage between tunes should make him consider comedy as a side gig.
