Babs Gonzales: "Tony Scott would come in and play with us every night like he had a gig. He'd be there earlier than us. So we started chipping in and giving him some bread because he still had to eat and sleep. Bu the man wasn't paying for but five. So we started giving him three dollars a piece at the end of the week." (from Swing to Bo by Ira Gitler -p.232- Oxford 1985)
