Assuming you mean Steve Morse ...

He is an incredible guitar player (well, anything with strings, really),
formerly with The Dixie Dregs. If you've never heard the Dregs, rush out
and buy some. No harmonica, but still worth the money.

I was lucky enough to see a more or less impromptu Dregs re-union in
Birmingham (Alabama) a couple of years ago, and I still get goose bumps
thinking about it.

I also got to see Steve play with his three piece (I forget what they are
called) in a small local club here in Huntsville a year or so ago. By the
end of the first set, every guitar player in the audience was in the pool
room out back, trying to pretend that what they were hearing just wasn't
happening!

I had no idea he was playing with Deep Purple. The thought of John Lord
on Hammond with Morse on guitar is enough to turn me on, *big* time.

I just wish I'd been living in the South during the early days of Ted
Turners cable operation, when the Dregs used to play live on a late night
chat show, of which there is apparently no permanent record! Anyone who
remembers the Polk County Pot Plane episode please drop me a line.
