Being Tyler

One of the things that happens

When we make a record is

That usually one member of the band

Ends up stepping forward into the spotlight.

They end up being featured

By the fact that the things

That they add to the songs

Make an indelible impression on the music.

It can happen subtly or in some cases

It can be a dominant effect.

William Tyler managed to do both.

Through the course of both of these records

He has managed to put his mark within the music.

As with his predecessors,

Tony Crow on is a woman and Paul Neihaus on Nixon,

William has unwittingly contributed both his youthful dynamics

And energy to these particular selections of material.

We have also marveled at his sense of melody and playfulness

When it comes to his interpreting the songs.

Notably, this instrumental does not appear in the film score.
