Guitarist Rick Derringer died last night at the age of 77. Most people here recognize him from his hit song "Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo", but he has played with a lot of other people as well, including Steely Dan. Great guitarist.

Sad to hear this, he created or helped create many great songs and a helluva guitarist. Keep rockin, Rick.
