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.

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

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.

@immatthew.  Just do a search for Liz brewer.  She later go t married to a Dalton and changed her name to Lisa Dalton.

"Ricky Don’t Lose That Number!"

Thought that was Skunk Baxter?

Derringer certainly was on the "most wanted" list in the studio.

Rick on his Steely Dan connection.
