Great guy...Too bad he had to be stuck in a band with an egomaniac like ted nugent who never gave Derek the credit he deserved.

For my money, Derek is one of the 2 or 3 best vocalists , EVER..He rocked it totally...He's sooooo badddd....He set the standard in the mid 70's..And a badass guitarist as well.....
WOW, StH with a bunch of kids, and they have "maybe" a clue how great he is, but most likely not a clue JUST HOW GREAT he is, it's like a 13yr old learning diplomacy froma 60yr old GWashigton....they have NO idea of the greatness that they are next to, performing with, or sharing the stage with.

Don't sell them short. I cam only speak for my son (bass), but I started him on "music appreciation 101" when he was 4. Dylan knew who he was meeting. He played a guitar solo for the contest, but brought his bass "just in case". One of his guitar teachers told him bass players get better opportunities and it pays to be prepared. This same teacher was a friend and played with the late Clifford Davies. So yes, he knows how great this was; he told me it was the best day of his life.

his teacher is right, there seem to be better opportunities for bass players only because everyone tries to be 'the hero'. Can YOU imagine playing with Derek though? On a stage? You son did something VERY cool and you both should be proud, sorry if I came off as condescending, it wasn't my intention.

No offense taken; I was running out of letters. Let me also say what a FANTASTIC guy Derek is. I was a great experience to meet and talk with him. He loves working with the kids. If you go to the Camp Jam Website in the Atlanta Blog (Ready Set Rock)section, there is a link (parent/correspondent) to more pictures and videos from Sam Ash and Guitar center. He also knows this is on youtube and is fine with it.
