"We started out with the simple goal of playing the old songs but picking them up where need be with modern tempos. It was a twofold kind of thing because that music is all around us, but when we were coming up it was competing with the rock music off the radio."

- Alan Doyle (in an interview with The Toronto Star November 16, 1995)
