Rick Derringer R.I.P

Rick is now able to play with all his former bandmates like Johnny Winter and Randy Jo Hobbs.

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.

Apparently, when released the "Smooth Jazz" thing was on its way out.

Definitely has that dentist office/reception room vibe.

RIP, and condolences to his family and friends. Always sad when we lose someone we loved and admired. I met Rick in NYC back in the day, as I helped him purchase and set up a pair of mirror imaged Infinity Quantum QLS 1s. I enjoyed myself, that was for sure! 

I am gonna watch "Hang on Sloopy" on Youtube again. If you do, the dancing girl is Liz Brewer, Rick's girlfriend.  Wow!

Not trying to turn this thread into an argument, @boxcarman , but a while back ago I watched that video on youtube and then I started doing searches to find out more about the dancing girl, and I did not get the impression that she was his girlfriend.  Maybe after the video was made?  But I did not get that impression from the youtube interview I saw with her either.
