We say happy birthday to Rick Derringer who was born in Ohio on this day in 1947.  He became a huge rock guitarist playing with lots of bands.

Rick started with The McCoys, the classic garage band of the 1960's.  They were just a bunch of young guys playing rock music.   Rick was only 19 when they had a big hit "Hang on Sloopy", "Fever" and
 "Come on let's go", originally recorded by Richie Valens.   After that, he went solo and enjoyed a lot of success, too.
