    What shows Steve Morse to be a great musician here is how he doesn't blast out the other players with volume. He can be heard when he wants to and backs off when others are playing.

    Really beautiful! Special thanks to Merv. Years back I was lucky enough to have worked with Rob a couple of times at my studio in Hollywood, CA and I can say that he was a wonderful person with musical sensitivities & abilities that were (pardon the pun) literally off the charts. I miss him and I'm guessing that maybe you do too. One of the greats!

      Mr Wizzard has always had the ability to play “clean” or any other coloring needed. He worked hard at technique since he was a kid. I remember going over to his house when he was about 14 and he answer
      Reed the door with guitar slung and continuously running arpeggio exercises and carrying on a conversation without interruption.

      You saw the “dixie” dregs if it was the 70’s. As did i. The best dregs records are the original dixie dregs records. No im not some kinda souths gonna do it again dude-just no reason to change the history of their name out political correctness. If anything, their name was a parody of dixie not a celebration of it.
