If you had asked me half a lifetime ago who my favorite guitarist was, I would have said Steve Morse. I’ve heard a lot of music since then and I can no longer pick just one, but I still have more music by Morse in my collection than by any other single artist, except possibly for Jeff Beck.1 Of course, I never heard the Dixie Dregs on the radio, except once as backing music in a cheesy commercial for a wet t-shirt club — for which I will never forgive that radio station.
