Recently when Deep purple was in town, I sat down with Steve Morse for a chat. Steve tells a great story about the early days with Ernie and Sterling Ball. The interview was nearly 20 minutes long, so here is part of that interview. Please enjoy. :)

Awesome. I like SM interviews more than just about any other artists' -- he just seems more honest and down to earth for some reason.

what about the great story Steve tells about flying around in Ernie Balls personal plane? He really is sincere when he talks about the trust put in him to fly Sterling around. I really love doing these videos and am extremely grateful when these very busy artists allow me the opportunity to do so. I'm constantly try to improve the process which comes at a great cost but is always gratifying at the end.

Best interview ever !!!

Thanks Colin, I like the part when they said they ruined their equipment "if they can do, we can do it" this is what I call a respectful band

The plane part is unreal, I'm glad and proud to be a little part of this EBMM history by playing their instruments

Cheers for that Colin, super.

Wow, wouldn't the world be a better place if all the so called celebrities & power monger politicians had some of Steve Morses attitudes.

Great guy,

Baz
