Also saw Buddy Guy at the same venue... probably a decade ago now. Missed Buddy's recent farewell tour and have no doubt that he was on fire.

Boston came on, the audience was spent after going nuts over Rick, and Bostons entire set wasn't much longer than Ricks finale'. Saw him at a local amusement park as well (Lake Compounce), and will never forget him climbing the stack of speakers and bumping his head on the ceiling, kind of fell/jumped to the stage....and freaking ROCKED. Local guy from CT. I believe, and played the club scene quite a bit.

Sadly when Jimi Hendrix found fame and had finally established some control over his music, he was pulled in too many conflicting directions by people that didn't have his best interests at heart. After surviving a pretty bleak childhood and relative poverty it's tragic that he then died so young without a chance to fulfill his musical hopes and dreams. Thanks for music Rick, and for the kind remembrance of Jimi Hendrix.

Did I hear Rick mention that Bridget Harris had visited him in New Mexico? I would love to hear where he lives now. I relocated to New Mexico five years ago. I left Los Angeles. That is where I met Rick. I lived in Pasadena at the time, and there was a little club near my house, that was a very popular hangout with me and my friends. A lot of my pals are musicians. Some good, some great, some undiscovered, and that's fine with them. I graduated with Eddie Van Halen, and some of my older friends were in Alex's class. We were all friends, along with Dave. One night, my friend Steve Brown, comes up to me, and asks me if I want to meet Rick Derringer. I say sure. We go over to a table against the wall near the entrance. We were introduced, and exchanged pleasantries. Then I just blurted out that one of my favorite songs is "Hang On Sloopy", by The McCoys. Rick had a surprised look on his face, then asked me "Really? You know I was in the McCoys?" "Oh sure. I was raised with music. My mom had a party band with her two sisters, in Santa Fe. I was ten in 1965, and loved the bands I heard on my transistor radio after school. So, I really liked The Beatles, but other groups too. Like The Kinks." Then, I told him I liked Rock and Roll Hootchicoo" too. All while I was standing next to the fully occupied table. I knew everyone seated there. I felt kind of excluded, so I told him it was nice meeting him, and returned to my table. I know my friends were excited to have Rick there, and didn't want to give up their place at the table to me, and I get it. But in hindsight, I wish I had gone in the back, and brought out a chair! Rick was nice, and it was nice meeting him.

Okay, the REAL source for Sloopy: Sloopy is a cat, created by 1960's poet Rod McKuen, and is included in his book "Listen to the Warm," published by Random House in 1963. The name of the poem is "A Cat Named Sloopy." Does anyone remember the popular poster back then, featuring a cat hanging onto a branch, and underneath the photo it says, "Hang In There!"? The writer of the song was basing it on all of the above. The actual originator of the song is still a mystery however.

Interesting. Glad I found this. I saw Rick Derringer live back in the late 1970s. He opened for Bad Company or Foghat. I don't really remember which one because the weed was really, really good and I was 17. I do remember I really enjoyed his set and he sounded awesome.

The night I saw Johnny Winter And at the Fillmore , I not only got to stand in the back & converse a bit with the legendary "cool ghoul" Zacherle , but Johnny, Rick and the gang were on a fiya of such intensity that it still burns in my memory! Years later Liz Derringer called to sell me her album and cd castoffs! And the McCoys "Human Ball" and Mercury work is way too unfairly forgotten!

Rick has had an awesome career. He's earned every bit of any accolades. Even then, I consider him very underrated. He just didn't hype himself up. When he was playing on stage, it was like he was just loving playing with the band. He knew his stuff so well, it looked like it was all effortless and it was all just fun. Rick was Eddie, before Eddie. And without the hype.

I saw Rick and the McCoys in Huntsville, Ontario at a ski resort called Hidden Valley. It was 1967 or 68. They played like there was no tomorrow. They did numerous sets and Rick played incredible and interesting solos. The Yardbirds played there a few months later. Jimmy Page was the guitarist and while he was great, Rick Derringer was in the same league. Two of the best guitar players I’ve ever heard. He’s a fabulous singer as well.

In my opinion, the kid took a popular cartoon character of the day and changed one letter to avoid a lawsuit. Even in my neighborhood in the '60s all of the kids would sing "Hang on Snoopy, Snoopy hang on"!

The Cavern? I’m not a jewelry guy, but I do live in Sarasota. I’ll have to check it out. Great song! When Ohio State won the National Championship in 2002/3….. I sung Hang On Sloopy at my favorite bar which happened to have karaoke that night! Such great memories growing up in Columbus, Ohio going to Buckeye pep rallies. OH!
