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.

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.
