Derringer is also a great guitarist and song writer. I saw him with Johnny Winter And then later with the Edgar Winter Group. When Johnny Winter And Live LP came out,me and my cousin would listen to it and laugh at how fast the JW could play.
A few unknown factoids about RD...
His real name is Rick Zehringer and he played on a number of Steely Dan tracks among other artists.
During the McCoy’s touring of “Hang On Sloopy”, they opened for Simon & Garfunkel in a small teen club here in Dayton. After their set, they stayed onstage and played behind S&G.
Hard to imagine how a “Hootchie-Koo” guitar could mesh with Paul Simon songs - great show, though!
