The home of the Rockettes and the Radio City Music Hall Christmas Spectacular hosted guitar slinger Rick Derringer of Edgar Winter’s White Trash and Robin Trower, formerly of Procol Harum. The band Derringer had a relatively small but enthusiastic following in the late 1970’s. Rick’s biggest “hit” was the catchy “Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo” and his band had some nominal fringe success as a good hard rock band.

Robin Trower does not sing. Now when your band is named for a lead guitarist who does not sing at all, a la Jeff Beck, you know he has got chops. Robin Trower’s “Bridge of Sighs” and “Robin Trower Live” are two great albums. The man stands front and center and just plays guitar; and he plays it very well. Robin Trower later on collaborated with Jack Bruce of Cream with a project called B.L.T. and yes the cover art was a delicious looking bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich.

Too Rolling Stoned

Rock on!
