 [Which is why it's spectacularly appropriate that The Funk Brothers - Motown's original house band - are opening up for Hall & Oates.] It's a great bill, ... We're carrying on their tradition. So we'll see when we get into Montreal if we're going to play a few songs together. |
| Funny, even though we're known as Philly musicians and our sound is predicated on that, I lived in Philly just four years, ... Then we both moved to NYC and lived there throughout the '70s and '80s. |
| I think we've always prided ourselves and perceived ourselves as songwriters, so it wasn't an album that we felt we had to do, ... But we knew that some day we'll do an album like that, and it will be fun. That's what it was really about. It was just the right time to do it. |

| I'm a bit more grounded than Daryl. I'm more practical, more pragmatic. Daryl looks more at the creative side. We have very different families, we're very different persons. But because we grew up in the same area and because we love the same music, we have a bond. |
| In the '80s Milli Vanilli was ruined by lip-synching, ... but now it's looked upon as enhancing people's careers. Today the weirder and creepier your life is, the more successful you are.

| The contrast is that we're very different people, in terms of our personal lives and our personalities. We don't step on each other's toes. It's a delicate balance. |
| The idea was to take these great songs, take them out of their production style and their dated recording style, and show them for the songs that they are--as if you had just played them on an acoustic guitar. It's all about timeless songwriting, really. |
| The purpose of this communication is a heads-up, |
| This music is like an old friend, one for whom you will always feel a kinship and closeness. When people hear this recording they will understand more clearly the roots of our original songs and perhaps have a bit more insight into where they really came from. |
| We both have so much in common, |
| We get a lot of the new songs in, but we play a lot of the old classics and even some stuff that people don't expect, |
