Had the 45 of Free Ride when i was 10. Listened to it over and over and then found They Only Come Out at Night. I loved the Roadwork album when I was a teenager. then in the 80s he played at my college sometime after the Sweet Evil album. he had a fantastic taste and tone and was always getting better.

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.
