    Standing watch on the signal bridge of a US Destroyer on a Med cruise during wartime. We had 2 cassettes and this was one of them. Stopped counting how many times we had to rewind that cassette with a pencil. Sailing the Mediterranean at night with that song in the background will leave an impression on you. This was awesome guys. Thanks

    Well.....I just listened to this song twice, back to back....I had the pleasure of knowing David Crosby personally....He loved when other artists covered their songs...always lent an enthusiastic ear to 'covers' of their songs...I would expect that he is looking down and giving full approval to this version. You can hear Paul Kantner's contributions as well as Stephen Stills'. Your interpretation of the song has the proper homage to the original as well as very tasteful amount of artistic license...I am so impressed. Thank you!! I'd love to sit in.....

    1969, stationed at Camp McCoy. We'd sneak into the photo lab, where we had a stereo set up, and listen to this album, Jefferson Airplane, The Rolling Stones, Sly, Jimi, and King Crimson. This song caught the zeitgeist. Concerned, confused, stoned, idealistic, and still hopeful even though the Vietnam War, the '68 convention, Kent State, and more made it feel like the world gone mad. Six decades later, I hear this recreated lovingly and gloriously. And just like 60 years ago, we are all in deep water... and I'm still hopeful today. Hearing this puts me in a good space. Your taste, talent, and perfection are exquisite, and we are blessed by them.

    What’s fantastic about Foxes and Fossils is how they capture the sound of the 60’s,70’s & early 80’s when music was produced with real live musicians and vocals. Nothing can compare to this sound, because it’s a real full sound. The blend of exquisite vocals and exceptional instrumental play…adds up to perfection. Well done F&F!
