That puts a new spin on a three piece band. I'm just kind of scanning thru the video. That solo at about 1 hour 32 minute mark pretty cool.

Glad to hear you like them. When Morphine started in the late eighties/early nineties, it was more or less a side project by Treat Her Right's bassist, Mark Sandman. By the time the first record was released the lineup of Sandman, Colley, and Conway was pretty solid. I thought they were a huge breath of fresh air musically, considering what was out there at the time. He also changed the way people looked at playing bass by only using an A and D string, and then using a slide quite often. It was a tragic loss to the Boston music community when Mark died on tour in Italy. I've recorded at his studio, which is a huge open room. There is no hiding behind punching tracks there, or layering. Because it's a live room, you needed to get your first takes right, or start over again. Billy kept the studio going many years after Mark passed away. Both were incredibly nice people.

I don't think I've ever heard of them before this - I like the line up - different. I stated many times in the past, play what you like and want and play for those who will listen. Of course, if your looking for money only - well... that 'might' be different, depending on what your playing. I can dig the record live thing - I miss those days. Man, we use to get together and practice as a band, not to mention members getting together to get down certain parts, etc, and getting together for the fun of it too (friends, other band members, etc).

Anyways - Happy Merry Christmas...
