How on Earth
Steve Morse contributed guitar solo to the single Save Me by a Croatian band called Kings Point. The track will also appear on their upcoming debut album Surrender, produced by none other than Bob Ezrin, so that explains at least one step of how on Earth…
Thanks to SteveMorse.com for the heads-up.
Loved it. It’s fresh and modern and what (IMHO) classic rock can sound nowadays. Steve’s contribution is also very, very tasty. Job well done!
January 6th, 2025 at 12:30Oops, I had put this in the wrong thread, you can erase it there, lieber Nick …
So that is what young Croatians listen to, Flying Colors rather than DP! ☝️🧐
This is Emo-post-rock with a touch of traditional hard rock, nicely done.
And Steve, yup, you’re plainly recognizable and at this rate NO ONE will ever accuse you of slowing down.🤣
Disturbing a Praying Mantis while it is having a poultry dinner is highly unfair and interferes with the tried and trusted principle of stealth bringing nutritional wealth …

January 6th, 2025 at 13:23“The Kings Point” project grew out of a long-standing friendship and shared passion for music between producer Bob Ezrin and Zoran Konević, a talented Croatian composer. The album features a variety of musicians.
January 6th, 2025 at 14:38The song “Save Me” features American and Canadian session musicians, with vocalist Shridhar Solanki, Evan Hutchings on drums and percussion, Jimmie Lee Sloas on bass, and Rob McNelley on acoustic and electric guitar. Tawgs contributes guitar, keyboards, and programming, while Croatian musician Vojislav Aralica adds additional guitar and keyboard parts. Steve Morse’s solo guitar also adds a special touch to the song.
This is really nice 😊
January 6th, 2025 at 16:07Nice Solo Steve!! Your playing is excellent, as usual!!
January 6th, 2025 at 19:28That is an excellent track!
January 7th, 2025 at 21:06I look forward to the album coming out and hear what else it has to offer!
Completely off-topic but Peter Yarrow, Puff the Magic Dragon’s voice is dead 🥺
January 8th, 2025 at 07:56Ok it was to be expected but never the less, another from our childhood has danced off 😞
very good these Kings Point, good musical taste, and swinging drums.
January 8th, 2025 at 12:32Due to my Catholic roots, I feel a natural kinship with Peter, Paul & Mary! But for some reason – we had the single – I grew up with the laconic diva version of Ms Dietrich and only heard the English version several decades later!

Always thought as a kid the story of the deserted lonesome dragon locking himself into a cave incredibly sad. That was when I still liked songs with dragon subject lyrics, something most if not all of us grow out of eventually. 😂
RIP Peter, say hi to Mary!

Marlene Dietrich! Aww I had no idea she did that!
Do you know why she was called The Blue Angel?
I wonder why your catholic origins had anything to do with this 😂
But now you mention it, yes it’s a sad song, many children have been moved to tears with this!
Now you just need to mention, and dig out, a Purple edition of “Puff..” 😄
January 9th, 2025 at 06:54‘Der Blaue Engel” was a 1930 movie about a high school teacher falling in love (and losing first his career and then his mind over it) with a bar room girl singer named Lola (played by a then still slightly baby fat chubby Marlene not at all yet in her later Hollywood diva high cheekbone glamour mode) in a local night club of ill repute called ‘Der Blaue Engel’ (the kind of establishment that, thankfully, doesn’t exist in Denmark, liebe Karin). It turned young Marlene into a star in the Weimar Republic and paved her way to Hollywood.

Ahh thanks Uwe 😊
Marlene Dietrich was the ‘strange kind of woman’!
I believe ‘Falling in love again’ also was sung in ‘Allo Allo’ by the infamous lady love of René in the cafe, or maybe it was Yvette and Maria who were that, and ms Edith more the wife ☺️
January 9th, 2025 at 23:59@12 – Madam Edith had a lovely lilting singing voice. The German officers took cover when she started to sing & even put cheese in their ears in a futile attempt to protect themselves. Cheers.
January 10th, 2025 at 21:22I have just had a thought & I cannot but think about Uwe’s singing wife, isn’t her name Edith? I am sure he has stated that she is in a choir and that leaves me pondering how Uwe, being German can put up with Edith’s singing or perhaps it could be Edith having to put up with Uwe’s attempts at singing we should be looking at? The mind boggles. Cheers.
January 10th, 2025 at 22:31Thanks for the Marlene Dietrich clip Uwe. Have to laugh at the lady behind her lighting up a cigarette. Those were the days. This documentary on Dietrich is a good one. Cheers.

January 10th, 2025 at 23:18Marlene wasn’t the easiest person to have around and could be scathing and dismissive. Nor could she really sing. But her disdain for the Nazis (Goebbels offered her in the 30s a return to the Reich with full honors, she told him to fuck off) was 100% real and she was absolutely fearless in her troop entertainment endeavors for Allied Forces, performing against orders in places much too close to the front. Eternal praise of her for that.

My Edith doesn’t – and thankfully not so – sing like the other one! 😂 Decades of listening predominantly to folk pop/rock music have left their indelible mark, people like Joan Baez, Mary Travers, Carly Simon, Linda Ronstadt , Stevie Nicks and ABBA’s Frida are her heroes. And of course Maddy Prior of Steeleye Span!

Edith is the lady love of Uwe 😊
And to make it even more intriguing, my sweetheart’s name is in fact René, like the innkeeper in Allo Allo! ☺️
Coincidence? I think so 😆
January 11th, 2025 at 09:05I would have accepted this one as the new Flying Colors single anytime..
January 11th, 2025 at 13:42@ 17 – Ohhhhhhhhh, René. Sorry Karin, I couldn’t resist. I did notice you mention your partners name a while ago & I held back on that one from Allo Allo at that time. As long as your René behaves himself then everything should be fine & dandy. Cheers. @ 16 – there are some mighty fine female vocalists that your wife is influenced by Uwe. Cheers.

I would have been rather disappointed hadn’t anyone mentioned anything about it 😁
“As long as your René behaves himself then everything should be fine & dandy.” <- never worry, he’s on a very short leash ☺️ 😂

Those laissez-faire Scandinavian alternative lifestyle 'adult games' practices never fail to baffle. 😑

Thanks for sharing.
January 13th, 2025 at 01:07I said it first, Micke! 🤗
Aber es ist in der Tat auffällig.
January 13th, 2025 at 01:10@21
January 13th, 2025 at 16:45That was not what I meant, as I’m pretty sure you very well know 😆😆
