    Listen up folks…I’ve been listening to F&F since the beginning. The Foxes were just babies (almost). Anyway, if you love listening to harmony, talented singers and epic arrangements you will find none better than F&F…None anywhere. And they just keep getting better. Love these wonderful, clean & classy performers. Hugs to them all!

    You have to understand something. I am 70 years old. I have listened some of the greats in person and on recordings. What I hear from your group is truly epic. The music, the vocals and all of it combined is just beyond anything I could imagine from anyone let alone a cover group. I listen to your music and it takes me back. Thank you for your dedication to the best in music.

      "Load" is a stand in word for "Lid". Back in day the rules for media censorship were different. BTW, out west "heavy" was the opposite of "light". in the east the terminology was "wet" and "dry". Given that people who were stoned have the manners of kings, they were called "heavy". Which was significant.
