Roger,

Greetings. First some quick yada, yada. I’ve been a BIG TIME DP aficionado since 1970. I have also been a Steve Morse fan since shortly after he graduated from the Univ. of Miami and began his stellar career. I listen to a plethora of music covering a wide array of styles. The best of The Neville Brothers is playing on the player as I type to be followed by some Steve Hackett. Anyway, When I first learned that Steve had joined the band I was blown away. A decade later I still cannot believe the union be it seeing the band in concert, on the DVD’s, and all of the recordings, at least those that haven’t been downloaded! Right then, I’ll cut to the chase. I’ve listened to you and have seen you perform many times prior to Steve joining the band and have always dug your playing. But during the past decade, simply put, you have noticeably become a better player. Has Steve, not literally, pushed you with your playing? You have been able to experience his genius and devotion to his craft for many a day now. Is your practice routine any different than when you guys first met? Continued thanks for your great music and for taking this question. Bring on another Gillan-Glover project!!! All the best, Bob
