My Actifit Report Card: May 27 2025 - RIP Rick Derringer

I saw in my news feed that Rock Legend Rick Derringer passed away. He became famous in 1965 as a teen when his band The McCoys had a huge hit with the song Hang On Sloopy. Rick was the singer and lead guitarist, and you can see him right here in this clip from what might be Hullabaloo or Hollywood a Go Go or a similar TV show.

Notice the dancers. They are just bopping to the beat, nothing fancy like today's tiktok dances. Just basic swinging of the hips and head. Those Go Go Girls in the back were probably 20 and are now 80. But I bet they can still do dances like this. It's easy! Watch the video and try it! Really! Do it! Build up that actifit activity!

Eight years later, Rick Derringer had success with a solo album. His big Rock hit from it was Rock and Roll Hoochie Koo. But I'll put a different track in here called Teenage Love Affair. It also rocks. You can see that this is quite different then the early sounds from the 60s. It is a bit faster and the guitars are more aggressive.

My Activity

for this day was not as much as I hoped. It was a cloudy cold rainy May day and I couldn't get motivated to do more than standard household chores.

At night it was still raining but I still walked. Then it began to rain much harder and I had to hustle back home before I got totally soaked. Maybe tomorrow will be nicer but the forecast for the rest of the week is not that good.

Have a Nice Day All! ❤️❤️❤️
