Morse performed with his brother Dave in the Plague before moving to Augusta and enrolling at Richmond Academy where he would meet bassist Andy West and form Dixie Grit, also featuring Dave Morse on drums. West and Morse would duet as the Dixie Dregs until Morse’s expulsion from school for refusing to cut his hair in the 10^th grade. Shortly after Morse, followed shortly after by West, would enroll in the University of Miami School of Music.
