I agree; I think what I mostly didn't like about TSS was the choice of
material. The cornball folk songs. The singalong with Mitch-type stuff.
I didn't like most of the adaptions of Bruce songs on the tour much
either,
with the exception of the waltz version of "If I Should Fall Behind", but
at
least those were somewhat interesting for the difference alone.
But "How Can A Poor Man" and a few others showed that, given the right
material, this band could make some decent music.
I do think he's done enough Irish sounding songs for awhile too, enough
already with that.
