(is this thing on?)
I saw posters in Frankfurt last month for a gig by the "New Guitar Trio",
which consisted of Steve Morse, (and memory is hazy here, as I'm not familiar
with these folks), David Lindley and Richard Thompson. Rod Morgenstein played
with Morse in the Steve Morse Band in the spring of '83, the same period during
which Andy West and T. Lavitz were rumored to be conspiring with the remains of
Little Feat. I haven't heard about any of them since.

<<..... would you believe me if I said please? ......>> Steve Morse just played at a couple of places here in Chicagoland a few weeks ago. I unfortunately was unable to attend his performances.

OK, a little Dregs history:
I first became acquainted (blown away is more accurate) with the band at
the U. of Miami, Fl in 1975. At that time they were known as the U. of Miami
Jazz/Rock Ensemble (the band was a project for credit). They were in the
process of changing their name to Dixie Dregs.
They did quite a bit of gigging around (they even did covers then by everything
from the Allmans (Jessica) to Mahavishnu Orch (Trilogy, Celestial Terrestrial
Commuters). In the entire time I was there I missed only ONE gig:
Around 1976, they recorded "The Great Spectacular" as a demo. They did a
test pressing of perhaps several hundred copies and were selling them at
their gigs. Before I got a chance to get a copy at one gig, they ran out.
I talked to Morse and he said he'd have more at the next gig. Well, in one
of the most regretted decisions of my life, I decided to study that night
and catch them another time. I never saw or heard of them again until
1980 when "Freefall" came out. Apparently they just abruptedly departed
the Miami area. I would really love to get a copy of the damn album because
I believe there are several songs on it that were never subsequently recorded,
and some of the songs on it they used to do better (in my opinion) back then
(Leprechaun Promenade was original called Dance of the Leprechaun, and they
used to have an amazing "Bash"-like version of "Dixie".
Please send me mail if you know of anyplace I can find this album.

Favorite Dregs story: I used to see Morse walking around the campus all the
time and to this day, I have never ever seen him without his guitar (even in
a restaurant in Concord, NH). I once went to see the movie "Shampoo" and
met Morse there (w. guitar of course). Half-way through the movie he turns
around and says "This is boring", takes out his guitar and starts practicing
this beautiful arpeggiated progression that lasts at least 12 bars with no
repeated chords. I spent the rest of the time just listening to
his non-amplified electric guitar in the movie theatre. (Never did find out
how that movie ended).

Wasn't there another group called the Android Sisters featured on the
Firesign Theater's "Don't Crush That Dwarf, Hand Me The Pliers"? I
think they sang the Porgy Tirebiter theme.
Ps. Goodbye to all of you for awhile. I'm taking a leave of absence
from the U of W, to go a-visiting to UC Berkeley. If I arrange access
there, you'll be hearing from me. (You can continue to send mail here
for the time being--I can pick it up from UCB).

These include all the ones which I have (exceptions Quark Strangeness & Charm, 25 Years On, Space Ritual) and also Live 79 and Road Hawks. Numerous compilation LP's also exist along with a couple of picture discs. Most of these have been re issued sometimes without duplicating the strangeness of the LP jackets (In Search of Space for example). I have the LP numbers for all of the above LPs. Let me know if you need them. If anyone finds a source for the Inner City Unit LPs, tell me where. Likewise, let me know if you get any response from Hawkwind Feedback. Rock Family Trees has a good bit of Hawkwind trivia.
