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.

His R & R stories were epic. Jamming with Jimi, Duane Allman and countless other guitar greats. I didn't know Rick did a "Smooth Jazz" album. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=hUCjcZcu4Es Apparently, when released the "Smooth Jazz" thing was on its way out. Definitely has that dentist office/reception room vibe.

Thought that was Skunk Baxter? Derringer certainly was on the "most wanted" list in the studio. Rick on his Steely Dan connection. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=m_51Zc2cRmU
