"If there's a voice within you, let it sing out.  Don't worry what anybody else says about the way it sounds to them.  If I had kept my mouth shut, where would I be today?  If you love somebody or something, don't hold back; give it a bit of a push, the next one along the line might really make it shine.  None of this is our to possess, only to enjoy.  And to pass along, enhanced by the wealth of our experiences." 
Dave Guard, 1990

The Weavers sang Leadbelly tunes but never sounded like Leadbelly; The Beach Boys doing "The Sloop John B." sounded only like the Beach Boys; Peter, Paul and Mary wouldn't even pretend to be The Reverend Gary Davis singing "Samson And Delilah."  With "Up & In" it is different: Dave Guard would try to sound like twelve different bands for the twelve different songs because he was not restricted by the number of instruments he could afford to take on the road.
