All-American McCoy

Rick Derringer's house in lower Manhattan hides a lot of history in its walls. It was originally bought by the rough rider man himself, the late and great Teddy ("Charge!") Roosevelt, for his grandson Willard. Beyond the backyard is a little studio where young Willard would while away the hours playing his grand piano, which is still there. Will, who's still around (but is no longer young), dropped by soon after Rick had moved in and when he saw all the guitars lying around, asked him what he played. "Pop music," answered Rick in his most respectful manner. Quoteth Willard with a raise of the old family eyebrow, "You mean acid rock??!!"
