Rick Derringer R.I.P


Unfortunately, another major 70’s guitar  player checked in for "The Great Gig in the Sky."

Rick Derringer was one of those unique "did everything with everyone " musicians.

You are correct but "Ricky Don't Lose That Number" is about Derringer.

Becker and Fagan went to meet him but couldn't convince him to team up with them at the time.

I bought the 45 in ’74 immediately upon release and that was the story in the music press at the time.

About 20 years before the internet became commonplace.
