Subject: Attention Dregs fans
For those Dregs fans who participated in the Dregs discussions awhile back
I thought I'd provide an update:
I talked to T Lavitz last night. Steve Morse and Rod Morgenstein are forming a
band, and called T Lavitz in to do keyboards for a demo they're making. They
have not specifically invited T to join. I think it's because they don't know
if what they really want to do is a "Dregs II" band. T currently has all kinds
of other things going including a possible tour with Peter Frampton who is
attempting a comeback. I asked him if he would join Steve & Rod if asked, and
he said that Morse is his favorite musician and that while he's got other
interesting possibilities, it would be a difficult decision to decline. Andy
West has moved to LA and formed his own band out there. He seems out of the
picture. There seemed to be personality problems involved with Mark O'Connor
and I didn't ask what Allen Sloan was doing.
Guitar Player magazine published a blurb saying that Morse was forming a
band and that a tour with Allan Holdsworth was being worked out. A re-formed
Dregs on a double bill with Holdsworth should provide us progressive fans
with something to really look forward to.

Steve Morse toured this summer with Rod Morgenstein and an unknown
(to me) but excellent bassist. The fabled Morse/Holdsworth tour either
never happened or split up before it hot the West Coast, 'cause
Holdsworth played here (San Francisco area) this fall without Morse.
Morse instead opened for (and sat in with) the John McLaughlin,
Al DiMiola, and Paco De Lucia trio on their tour. Alas, I missed
that one.
