http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lng7iFzSVGI There is nothing that gets our freedom juices flowing quite like a solid patriotic anthem…and when there isnt one of those available, we turn to the musical stylings of Rick Derringer and the immortal Hulk Hogan.

1970's group Derringer is back. The original lineup; Rick Derringer, Kenny Aaronson, Vinny Appice and Danny Johnson , is back doing some live gigs this year. The members have all played with too many musicians/groups to mention here, but let's just mention the Steely Dan connection: Rick can be heard on the band's Countdown To Ecstasy, Katy Lied and Gaucho as well as Donald Fagen 's The Nightfly ....

Please leave any comments you have -- I know it's not leveled right, and I know it's not perfect, but tell what parts you like, parts you don't like... etc. 1. g&r - welcome to the jungle (dlg remix)...
