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.

Rick wanted a speaker a little less dynamic than what he was used to but also wanted some grunt, heft and illumination. The QLS1s really fit the bill. I was passively, vertically bi-amping them with some Krell stereo amps. My best, MrD.

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.
