| Yep, Rick still tours, he's coming to Worcester, MA sometime this month
or next. Talk about your basic road hog...still slogging the clubs
after 25 years.
I always liked Rick but it seemed that live his pop sensibilities got
overtaken by the boogie disease.

I always loved that one verse he got in "It's My Own Fault"
on Johnny Winter And Live. Johnny's going berserk for 10
verses and then everything screech's to a halt and then
Derringer comes in. Great little solo!!
He was also great with Dan Hartman (I can Dream About You)
in Edgar Winter Group.
Saw Rick at the Rusty Nail in Sunderland. My old teacher,
Mitch Chakour, warmed him up. Seems they had to stand Rick
up at the urinals and man, those were some droopy eyelids!!
Rock and Roll Hootchie Koo is an all time classic !!!

| Supposedly, Rick is from my homes town of Glastonbury, CT.
Every once in a while our local radio stations do a "home grown musicians
who made it big" and they always say that Rick is from Glastonbury.
If so, it was definitely before my time.....

Re: .3
I mentioned this show earlier today and deleted my reply after
calling the Rat and getting a disconnected phone recording.
So anyone planning to go, check (somehow) to make sure it is
on.

| Does anyone know exactly when he'll be in Worcester? I'd love to see
him again. The last time I saw him was back in ~'77-78 up in Potsdam,
N.Y. at one of the college's(the first concert I ever attended).
I remember one of my friends telling me about being in one of the local
bars after the concert and Derringer walked up behind him, covered my
friend's eyes with his hands, and asked him "So how'd you like to party
with Rick Derringer?". My friend turned around, thinking it was a prank,
and there stood a very wasted Rick Derringer. They all went to my
friend's delapidated trailer and partied all night.

The best show I've ever seen Rick do was back around '78 (probably
the same tour as in .6). His band at the time consisted of Neil Geraldo
on guitar and Kenny Aaronson on bass. I talked to Kenny during the
opening act and got to meet Rick (who really is a shot sh!t standing
next to me) because I knew who Kenny was before they went on and he
asked me if I wanted to meet him.
A great show! The band was tight and Neil and Rick played the he!!
out of their BC Riches! The disgusting thing is that a year later
I caught another show and Rick had a whole new band and the show
*sucked*. Nothing compared to the previous years show!

| My memory is pretty rusty on this but here we go...
Waaaaayyyyy back in junior high school (I just turned 40 to give you a time
reference so it would be circa 1966), we had a band called "Rick and the
Raiders" play at a sock-hop. They were the Zehringer brothers of which Rick was
the most talented and hence leader of the band. They were reportedly from just
over the Ohio-Indiana border. They really rocked the place, but hey, I was in
9th grade and *anything* with a guitar sounded good.
A few years later when Rick Derringer played with Johnny Winter and then later
his "All-American Boy" album, it was reported in the local (Dayton, OH) press
that this was the same Rick Zehringer that was in Rick and the Raiders.
FWIW,
Bruce
