You simply gotta love Steve. Just look at this face, just look at his smile. He is such a talented and gifted artist, and yet such a humble, modest and decent person. There is no attitude, no false pretenses. Just honesty. Take the moment towards the end of the talk when Neal invites him to say something he wants to say and Steve starts singing the host's praises instead of talking about himself. That's how he is. Amazing. This last section of the talk then turns out to be one of the most precious ones. Thank both of you Morses so much for this conversation 👍🏼💓😍!

Two great musicians from the last two great generations. What a treat !

Steve has been my favorite guitarist for nearly 40 years and he continues to amaze me with his attitude, knowledge, wisdom, and of course his incredible music.

Love Steve. Nicest guy you’ll ever meet 👍😘🇸🇪

Really great conversation. I've been a Steve Morse fan since Free Fall by the Dregs. I was employed at Gibson Guitars here in Nashville and was driving to work one morning. Refried Funky Chicken came on the radio and I just about drove off the road. I was totally blow away. I bought the album as soon as I got off work that day. If you were riding in the car with me you were listening to the Dregs. I saw them many times at the Exit Inn as well as Vanderbilt and the old Tennessee Theater downtown. I love your music too Neal. God bless you and keep spreading the word.

Steve and Neal really are magic, they really are on another level in so many ways. Really enjoyable hearing you two chatting.

Hi Neal. Great interview. I especially enjoyed the last conversation you had with Steve about Christianity and lyrics. Very profound, and pretty much falls in line with remembering that Christ always spoke in parables. So, it sounds like Kerry and you got it right. 👍 Thanks for the fantastic interview.

I've seen Steve live 3 times, he always amazes. It's always nice to find out such a legend is humble and down to earth. Great conversation, thanks for posting!

DUDE....the Dregs UNSUNG HEROES.....some of the BEST MUSIC ever produced!!!! ... " I'll just Pick "...F'n INSANE guitar!!!!!! ...Whole band was INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!!!...Cruise Control ..also SO groovy...and BADASS MUSICIANSHIP!!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!...when I was 12...and walked into a guitar store near me...a dude who worked there, was just jammin' for like an hour, and I watched him intently...He was Great..I asked him who the best guitarist was..and he said... " You never heard of him "...I said WHO?? ..He said Steve Morse...he told me to get Unsung Heroes....and I thank him to this day.... it defined my soloing...my covers don't show it =P but my soloing..got me in a few bands...thanks to Steve.

Steve is my favorite player, greatest influence, and one of the most underappreciated composers in modern history. His understanding of counterpoint and melody is unique in his field.

Wonderful conversation between two awesome human beings...who happen to also be awesome musicians! Thanks for sharing this.

As an (almost) lifetime Christian - one of the (many) things I like about Neal & Kerry is that they live their faith w/o being preachy or condescending - this is the real life application of "let he who has not sinned throw the 1st stone" :^)

Met Steve in '91 at the Palomino in North Hollywood when touring with Albert Lee. Mrs. Lee and kid selling memorabilia and Steve going to the bar to get his water between tunes. What a treat when EVH and Lukather dropped in. Those were the days...Holy crap -- 30 years ago.

Out of all these Coffee and Stuff episodes, this is one of the best !!!

Here waiting for my dog at the vet and what pops up … this amazing conversation between my two favorite musician?!? Yeeeesssss! Great podcast!

Wonderful, thank you.

Brothers from different Mothers!!!

One of the best.

Love how he ended the podcast with Steve's solo from Seeds of Gold. One of my all time favorite solos at almost 3 minutes in length!

The "Stand Up" album by Steve Morse Band, is one of favorites. Great music and guest artists like Albert Lee and Eric Johnson.

I’m really enjoying this series Neal, it’s great to just hear you talking about stuff, it’s just so surprising what you can learn. Love all your music from flying Color’s to NMB, and all the different bands and music your all involved in. Your all so under appreciated. I’ll keep listening and trying to learn. And just enjoy. Cheers 🥂

Coast To Coast is my favorite SMB album, too! This is such a great interview. Thanks Morse fellas!

Thank you, Neal...this was a worthy watch... :-)

Two Morse(s) in one podcast! Yes! Love these conversations about music and your faith. I met Steve Morse at Dregs reunion tour in 1993 and I always say that he was one of the most humble (big time) musicians I had ever met. His love of music and his desire to play music no matter what still resonates with me. Thanks for this conversation.

"FACE THE MOSS" ... _surely_ the title of a new Flying Colours song. :))

The LAST place you want to be dropped! Great stuff, thanks! Oh yeah...Steve Morse: The Introduction and Jeff Beck: Blow by Blow, my 2 favorite guitar centered albums, masterpieces.

Whenever anything goes wrong in my life, I ask myself "how would Steve Morse handle this and what would he say to keep calm" ... and smile at the same time of course! :)

Already 12 episodes! One better than the other.

Love Jerry Reed and "Amos Moses"! Great song and story!

Interesting to hear the story behind Coast To Coast as it's my favourite SMB album. great chat about stuff guys. Really enjoyed it.

Wow, very cool!!! One of my favourite guitar players of all time. Any chance of getting John Petrucci on the show? Have you and JP ever jammed together?

What did McGuyver do? Great little reference. I loved that show.

Can't believe that Steve Morse didn't know that Tony Joe White wrote/sang "Polk Salad Annie"...! :) He also wrote "Rainy Night in Georgia"... and many more... the Swamp Fox!

34:50 ...alright! NEW DP is around the corner...

Hello Mr Neal Morse, could you please enable automatic subtitles? They help a lot for us who don't speak English very well to understand them

Every time, Neal holds up his mug in such a way that I see, "AL MORSE".

I wonder what mixing desk that is? Good conversation :)

Wow, I didn't know about possible project with Livgren. Imagine what beautiful music could be created by these 3 guys.

I love this, but I am a bit sad you have to explain "MacGyver". Makes me feel old! Thanks Neal!

What about the time MacGyver made a bomb out of a bicycle? That was awesome !! Love ya Steve

Steve , we will love your playing, but you as a husband for your dedication, we wish you the best

Hey, I'm here in Brazil, and know very well about Macgyver. But course, I'm over 40

we can call this Morse Code 😁😁😁

What is the song on the outro? Incredible solo there!

is neal related to steve? new band name Morse Code ?

I mgaivered the magaiver reference

Elvis: Polk Salad Annie. Nuff said.

Get a cup of coffee, and give your foot a push

Are they related?

I've seen Steve in concert about 15 times. Dregs, SMB, Kansas, and he gets a bit tongue tied when speaking.

McGiver, you give him a hammer and nails and a paper clip and he builds you a hotel or shopping mall...🤣🙂

Ok I'm just gonna say this...Neal Morse is the James Patterson of rock. Perhaps a little too prolific. As for Steve Morse...one of the most remarkable guitarists of all time. To me Steve belongs in the "strictly instrumental" category. It's too bad that the Dixie Dregs couldn't sustain his career, being in Kansas and Deep Purple and now Flying Colors just doesn't work for me. Steve needs to be out front playing "Country House Shuffle" or "Ice Cakes" or "Odyssey"...that's where he belongs, not in a vocal group setting.

Sorry Tim I couldn't disagree more at least where his work with Flying colors is concerned. I think it works perfectly, and his regular bassist Dave larue also.

Even though I think Neal and Casey are the primary writers of the lyrics and melodies, at the outset, it was Steve, I believe , that expressed that Flying Colors should have plenty of vocals and harmonies.

@@timwhite5647 Let me start with a caveat that, nothing will ever be like any of the songs you mentioned. Because well different band with a different goal. But, what really got me into Flying Colors was "Open up your eyes". Lots of great moments for all the band members and I can hear Steve's melodies in my head now, even though I haven't listened in a few weeks.

These podcasts are the worst..stakkato dialoge, boring subjekts. Nor everybody can be an Radio vokalist.
