"I've seen Steve Morse too while still in high school at "The Ritz" in New York City when he was with "the Dregs."

Very talented guy. But he's not really a hard rocker."


Exactly. I was a huge Dregs fan but hard rock it ain't.. though some songs did have a hard rock style riff involved.

Still, I can't blame Steve.. we all have to eat and the Dregs were never very commercially successful. I remember when our local station would use Dregs tunes on ads but refused to actually play the songs.

I remember driving 200 miles to Houston to see the Dixie Dregs in the late 70's or early 80's (too much Columbian to remember).

While waiting in line, I noticed that the backup band was a group called "The Eric Johnson Band". Never heard of them.

My first thought was it sounded country. A scrawny looking guy, with a guitar that looked like it was bigger then him was strapped around it. I thought, "surely a guy who looks like this cannot even fret a note".

Man was I WRONG!
