Checking them out live he sounds more like early Steve Winwood. They cover
'We're a winner' on Totally Wired 14.

The weird thing is, I've seen them live several times, they're usually good
but the last couple of times they've sucked. I think they're on a bit of an
ebb. Lets hope it doesn't last and they get back to their old funkier form.

Yours sincerely (with peace and love),
