REPOST Request: Another great has fallen R.I.P. to Rick Derringer. What I wrote last time: Thanks to Jim for suggesting four more albums by Rick that I added to most recent post as well as adding his earlier McCoy's vinyl I had posted. I did my best to clean up the two pops on his all-time classic heart felt tune 'Tomorrow' second song side one of his 1975 album. I really dig the song because I had a sticker on my pre-amp from old discog sellers putting stickers in the boxes that really sums up this blog and all of us (kind of gave me a nice deep emotional flush that washed over me so I tried extra hard to clean the song. After all, as Rick says: WE'RE ALL IN THIS TOGETHER! Keep the faith, I think I could listen to the song 50 more times. He should be grouped with Rory Gallagher, Gary Moore and those guitar types. Mister Rock 'N' Roll Hoochie Koo man from the McCoys (Hang On Sloopy) who saw the first prog rock band 1-2-3 in England so became quite an open minded music lover. This 78 album finds him with just some great tunes with positive lyrics and even the last song, Monomania has the same devil voice that Roky Erickson used around that time in his movie ode, "Creature with the Atom Brain". https://bestfile.io/en/WajDUNvpfQ0NNLh/file

Real solid repsresentation of Derringer live in '77. I saw them in '77 and '78 live in Boston...Most folks are bias with the first self-titled album but I've always considered "Sweet Evil" as my Derringer go-to. Danny Johnson's interplay w/ Rick is really dynamite, they had a great chemistry I wish they had tried to keep together for a more years during this time.
I'm guessing there's some good other live material of the band out there - inccluding a few studio outtakes of this band. All four of which were at the top of their games here, though Vinnnie Appice and Kenny Aaronoff had plenty greater commercial success ahead of them.
Sadly, Derringer arguably peaked around this time.
The 3rd album, "If I Weren't Romantic, I'd Shoot You"(gawd awful title, of course) was a different, less rocking, almost power poppy affair. Was lambasted at the time but I'll always be a defender of it. 2/3 really, really good songs, a light hearted 'in studio' vibe, loose but still tight w/ session musician friends backing Derringer. Well, worth seeking out...(it came out on a CD two-fer w/ this live album in the mid 00s sometime. Long out of print, expensive rare CD now.
Even better was "Guitars and Women" a year later - again, filled with musician friends filling as a band and a few truly great songs on it. Was reissued on CD briefly almost 20 years ago, pretty easy to find now.

Thanks ClassicMusic20 I just heard from my office mate--he knows the family personnally as they had lived in Florida. I will also repost with Florence Warner next week thanks to your inputs. Stay healthy and safe--meals below 30% fat, plenty of glucose at all times, PUF/MUF poly and mono fats keep below 5 mg which means NO seed oils from restaurants or fast food (ask for butter instead), Root Cause Protocol to get iron recycling working again (I've been doing it over 3 years), Mercola's new Cellular Health book is the latest we flushed out a few years ago by reading more books at the same time and really being connected. Stay well my friend!
