Steve Morse is an iconic member of the Boston Music Community.

Steve just passed away a few days ago and is one of the most respected music critics, writing for The Boston Globe and covering the vibrant music scene. He also had been teaching a music course at The Berklee College of Music and I was fortunate to have him on my podcast in 2023. 

We mourn the loss of our dear friend, and we pass on this replay of our tremendous conversation and walk we took through the streets of Cambridge Massachusetts.
