26 if you count
A lengthy (over an hour) and thus very interesting chat with Steve Morse, courtesy of Sea of Tranquility. Dig in!
Thanks to Mike Whiteley for the info.

Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
The hour flew by,, for sure.
July 6th, 2020 at 20:06Seems Steve thought The Long Goodbye was it.I hear a bit of exasperation in his voice.
So…..
Mini-Moog as a lead instrument with the rythmn guitar kinda low in the mix….
That describes Throw My Bones and Man Alive perfectly.
The sound of Purple,2020.
I can’t help but smile at seeing how uncomfortable Steve gets with the high praises he receives before the first question. And he deserves each word.
July 6th, 2020 at 20:47Awesome interview! Thank You Sea of Tranquility good job! I really am in awe of the respect the members of the band have for each other and their individual talents!
July 6th, 2020 at 21:08Yep, very enjoyable and informative. His perspective on Hush being a party tune is interesting and understandable.
July 7th, 2020 at 01:11Excellent!! The interviewer let Steve talk without interrupting and did not ask one question about SOTW!!
July 7th, 2020 at 10:00Been Watching Pete Pardo from Sea Of Tranquility for years on utube, the guy has incredible Knowledge of all music geners. He has just about every album cd there is. It was very cool to see him interview Steve. Enjoyed the part where he describes the differences between Jon and Don. Very enjoyable interview. Thanks Pete.😍.
July 7th, 2020 at 12:31@4 DeepOz: As the finale of the Remembering Jon Lord Tribute,Hush is a real party.
July 7th, 2020 at 20:43If only Steve & Don could’ve coaxed Rick Wakeman to jam on the Roundabout riff for a while.
Pete and Steve are cool dudes. Thanks for the link.
July 7th, 2020 at 22:13Here’s a great piano number that you might reocognise from a young player:

Great interview! Thanks to Steve Morse for all the wonderful insights into the band. Good job Pete! Thoroughly enjoyed this conversation.
July 8th, 2020 at 03:28When you play a Minimoog, you’re not automatically a synthesizer guy. It’s one of the most iconic and best sounding keyboard instruments. Jon had a Minimoog model D and Memorymoog on stage with Purple throughout the Perfect Strangers tour. Even if he had kept them around later on everybody would still see him as a Hammond player with some bells and whistles here and there. The Hammond organ is one of the most versatile instruments every created and for sure the no. 1 instrument with keys in Purple.
July 8th, 2020 at 05:48Tommy H @ 11- Yes indeed it is a classic instrument. Not sure if you have seen this Wakeman tribute to Bob Moog, a wonderful 8 minute clip it is. Cheers. https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/rick-wakeman-praises-favorite-keyboard-moog-documentary-833135/
July 8th, 2020 at 23:03Steve wants to play Bad Attitude! How do we make that happen??
