"Ear Candy" is a most inadequate description. I've always loved this S&G song, this re-read into more than two part harmony is bewitching, at least. Just on the song, ages ago Mick Jagger was interviewed by "Rolling Stone" magazine (yeah, cool, right?) and was asked which of anyone else's lyrics he wished he'd have written. He said "Laughing on the bus, playing games with the faces, she said the man in the gabardine suit was a spy, I said be careful his bow-tie is really a camera".

The combination of Foxes and Fossils gives a great balance to the old and the new music. As a musician myself I can appreciate how hard it is to balance the harmonies, singing while you're playing, getting along with everyone else you work with. You all are true Professionals in every sense of the word. And you just sound FANTASTIC🎉 3:10 !

I was pleasantly surprised when the camera was on Scott. The reasons (as I was the videographer) was 1) this was videoed as a momento of the occasion for Tim at his request. This event was originally solely ABOUT THE GIRLS!!! Who would have known 11 yrs ago that ever band member would have become stars in their own right!!! 2) Scott is indeed a phenomenal bass player. But he usually is a bit further stage left and is not usually in a group frame shot except on a center camera. Scott also tends to move around and goes in and out of a frame. In later Twisted Taco vids, he was also blocked a lot by equipment on stage left. And while I don’t remember exactly, I am guessing that as I was shooting from stage left at Bella’s I took a chance on this shot of Scott, hoping that the other two cameras would have a good shot to use in editing -so I could actually shoot Scott doing his thing.

Just a shout-out to Scott and his bass playing. Easy for it to be overlooked behind the spectacular singing and the other guitars. He adds so much musical interest and texture to the songs. And while, yes, the core competency and beauty of the group's music is the singing and harmonies, we have to remember that it is the bass notes, supplied by Scott, that tell the group what the chords and harmonies are. I also believe that having Scott's bass lines present makes the vocal harmonies that much easier to sing well.
