Rick Derringer R.I.P

Like many others, I got to see him with Johnny & Edgar.  His work on Show Biz Kids is a stand out performance.  IMHO  He will be missed. 

Yes, Rick Derringer was a great studio guitarist and 70’s rocker, but don’t neglect that he was also in the McCoys, creators of the garage rock classic and forever party song, “Hang On Sloopy”! 

First time I saw him was opening for Robin Trower in 77, he pretty much played the whole Derringer Live album. Then with the J Geils Band where he had a guitar battle with Geils in which they tossed guitars to each other during the solos!

RIP to another guitar great.  From Hang on Sloopy at 17 to Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo and more.  Thanks for all the music Rick. 

@buellrider97 - yes, so sad to see that. I was at that Day on the Green headlined by the Winter Bros with Rick (I was at a LOT of DoG's); got some great photos from up close, too. Loved Rick's work with Johnny Winter And....
