    This song is F&F’s 100th music video upload (they have a further 50 “miscellaneous” videos, including Mustangs performances, a Q&A session, promotional and announcement videos, and a couple of livestreams from the Braves national anthem appearance). The 100 music videos account for almost 93 million of the views on this channel, the remainder over 5 million.

    Life rolls on and sometimes, right under our noses, we miss the changes. So it was that it dawned on me that F&F has been at this for quite awhile. In the beginning, the 'Foxes' were teenagers. Now, still young women, you can see the growth. In the dozen plus years that have passed, while always good, they've refined their talents injecting themselves into the songs with an obvious understanding and feeling for the material. No matter the genre, they do the song justice. Respectful and committed. Always delivering quality with modesty.

    Covering any Steely Dan song has to be one of the most difficult and challenging undertakings for this band and once again, the end result is astounding! Tim’s vocals are right on and the backing vocals and harmonies are vintage foxes and fossils sound. The two lead guitarists really nail the lead parts created and performed in the studio by Skunk Baxter, an amazing guitarist who played on several Dan records.I have listened to many covers by this band and I would put this one in my top three. Great job!

I wasn't fit enough to use the wifi there, so have a lot of catching up tp do on UA-cam. This one just got caught up with - and it is quite up to the high standard that F&F deliver. Quite amazing cover of a very difficult song. Steely Dan numbers are difficult to cover, but this band do it very well indeed.
