I discovered Morphine half asleep on the couch in January of 2020 when TH-cam autoplayed a video on singers who died on stage. Through the haze of sleep, I perked up when I heard about this band from Boston with a dark, bass-filled sound. I woke up, looked up a video (“Honey White”), and the moment I heard Dana’s sax playing, I was HOOKED! I thought, “I WANT to make that sound!” That’s when I fell in love with making music, and now, three years later, I find myself finally being able to play along to some of the songs I love so much. It’s a shame I hadn’t heard of them until I was 50. Sadly-I had been living in Boston exactly at the time when they were all the rage! I was so oblivious!! Oh well. Thanks, Dana and Jerome, and a shout out to “The Other Side,” to Mark and Billy. Y’all have made such a difference!! ❤️🙏🎷😎👍🏻
Awesome I came across this Mark, Andrew, Billy are departed and I am glad Dana, Monique and Laurie are doing music carrying on, The history of Dana's younger years I grew up in Stoughton and Dorchester and 27+ yrs in San Francisco these days and glad I come across this 1/03/2024 🎷🥁🎶🎵🎶☘️😎👍

Same here and i was sad that i never heard of them :/ and i have always had it difficult with saxs in music...but not these guys...i really like it😁
Just saw Vapors of Morphine a few nights ago. Great show but make sure you get there early enough for the incredible sound check they do.
nice to hear your voice Dana, it's been too long. thanks Rico.
Dana is a consummate and highly skilled musician and just a humble all around great guy.
Great interview, thank you

Enjoyed this Dana. Nice job.
I think the word Dana is looking for near 52 mins is Ethnomusicologist
will never be the same without Mark
