Groundhogs legendary guitar and vocal hero Tony TS McPhee and myself at his home in England. The occasion was the buying of Tony's guitar, which is magnificent, and meeting the legend, who has always been a hero of mine, and a huge influence on me musically.I had lunch with Tony and his new wife Joanna. Lovely, lovely people, and a true Star.

Hi Derek, I'm a young aspiring bass player, and am wondering If you could help me out with "Sweat In Bullet" at all. Any help would be great!
Cheers for the music man!

Hi Derek (Dan Yer Man)
I found and old note book of yours from the 80s in a junk shop in Glasgow. I thought you might like to see some of the art work again. There’s a lovely comic strip which you may remember (It was a long time ago) called "The adventures of Dan Yer Man". I will happily send you a photo if you like but I don’t think it’s entirely appropriate for postin on-line.
