Hi, Roger. I enjoy your Website, as well as Ian Gillan’s. But the best Purple site is TheHighwayStar.com, yet the organizers of that site keep stating that they need money or they’re going to have to shut it down. Don’t the members of DP support it…it would seem logical, since it’s such a comprehensive, quality site.//Rog, do you keep in touch with Ritchie Blackmore at all? Is there any hope of ever jamming with him again? Nothing against Morse and Airey, who are solid, but the MKII lineup material blows Bananas, Purpendicular and Abandon right off the map, in my humble opinion. The material is still damn good, but Blackmore and Lord just have a much heavier, more prolific sound than the gents in the band right now. That’s not to say I won’t by the records, or am oblivious to the reality that bands constantly evolve. And I’m happy DP is still around..but it no longer sounds altogether like DP.
