Damn, that's a bummer. I loved the 'Sweet Evil' record by Derringer (the band). He'd surrounded himself with such fine players at that time, (Kenny Aaronson from Dust and Danny Johnson & Vinny Appice from Axis), that it allowed Rick to really soar. The 2 live records by that line up; 'Live' & the promo-only 'Live In Cleveland' are great documents of an excellent road tested band in peak form. R.I.P.
Rick Derringer was one of my favorite artists. RIP my friend.
