ELECTRIC SUPERMAN
His legendary stone guitar has been moved into a storage room, and you have to look pretty hard to find many rock 'n' roll artifacts, but Rick Derringer and his wife Liz are very much at home in their cozy Manhattan triplex hideaway. Welcoming a pair of guests (my guitar-playing husband was not going to be left out of this one!) with juice, beer and a slobbery greeting from his two dogs, Derringer lowers the sound on a nearby television (MTV, of course) and we settle onto a comfortable sofa.

RICK DERRINGER CAN'T BE STOPPED!

His legendary stone guitar has been moved into a storage room, and you have to look pretty hard to find many rock 'n' roll artifacts, but Rick Derringer and his wife Liz are very much at home in their cozy Manhattan triplex hideaway. Welcoming a pair of guests (my guitar-playing husband was not going to be left out of this one!) with juice, beer and a slobbery greeting from his two dogs, Derringer lowers the sound on a nearby television (MTV, of course) and we settle onto a comfortable sofa. Grandly placed throughout the high-ceilinged living room are wonderful winged antique statues—the Derringers' own favorite collector's items. When Rick happily mentions that a similar piece fetched an impressive price at a recent posh auction, he shows almost as much excitement as that he gives to any of his diverse musical projects. Then again, if there's one man who knows better than to put all his faith and trust in the business he has worked in for almost two decades, that person is Rick Derringer.
