I've played this track before, but it's just so good I can't resist playing it again. It's perhaps the definitive example of how a master of hard rock can take the electric guitar to a whole new level, a master class in expressive musical genius. Here's Steve Morse and Deep Purple at the Montreux Festival in 1996, playing "When A Blind Man Cries". Sheer rock guitar genius! To think that was 30 years ago, this year . . . Steve Morse retired from Deep Purple a few years ago, to take care of his wife during a long illness. Sadly, she died in February 2004. Morse is now back in the saddle with his own group.Peter
