Why do you think it will be your last trip?
Spot on..I remember buying a solo album by my ( then ) guitar hero Mick Ronson entitled " Slaughter on 10th Avenue " ( David Bowies right hand man ) Anyway a friend that day in the same record shop bought " All American Boy " by Rick Derringer and he gave a loan of it to me..Loved it and bought many more of Ricks albums,Tho that one was a classic..I'd guess at 1973...Ok now to your question about my last trip..Last year my health wasn't doing great and I was about to be operated on and of course I'am thinking, here we go, it's the end of the line..Turns out the medication I was giving was agravating the problem and after a slow recovery,things began to look up..So here Iam " Still alive and well " ..( another derringer quote ) lol.
Going way OT here: I met Rick Derringer at the old Fillmore East, it was called the Palladium at that time. He was very gracious to me (a stoned out star-struck kid). I loved him from his work with Johnny Winter (another hero of mine.)
Love Mick Ronson- with Bowie, Lou Reed, Morrissey. Didn't he do a stint with Mott the Hoople?
I'm glad your health is looking up.
Yes..He joined Mott for a very short stint..Then they split and he formed " Hunter/Ronson " band with Ian Hunter..I was at the after gig party..Excuse my style in the photo, but it was 1975..
