Chuck Berry passed away today. He was 90 years old. I saw him just a couple years back in his Duck Room here in St Louis and he could still play it like a ringing a bell.

Sad day for all Rock n Roll Guitarists and he will be missed.

Thanks, for the heads up T2. I wish I could say that I never saw that coming. Mr. Cadillac man once said that his sole reason for playing at one time was simply to buy more Caddies. I don't believe that though. He always gave his all, and Keef knew not to touch his guitar that did it all. A true legend that will be honoured no doubt, and missed in the land of Rock and Roll.

Rest easy Chuck.

90 is good. That's more than Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, Otis Redding and Duane Allman all combined.

I'm truly grateful that Chuck Berry helped bring rock to the world. The music lives on.

RIP Chuck.

It was no coincidence I did a duck walk at my first-ever gig.

I think we were all influenced by him. Here's a piece which I drew this morning when I found out about his passing. I hope I did him justice. Enjoy !

Really great drawing, Jeff. No doubt that C.B. would have liked it.

Back in the late 50's I literally wore the grooves out of those early '45's and LP's, playing them on an 'el cheepo' record player, trying to learn his brilliant, intricate guitar solos. What frustrated me to no end was that Berry, performing live, never re-created those solos live. More of a player in the studio and performer on stage. Interestingly enough, I find that with Richards as well. More technically perfect in the studio than in performance. I believe Dave Edmunds to be one player who has Berry's solos dimed. In all of that 'runaway train', back beat driven music which has formed the core of what we play today, do not fail to give the nod to Johnny Johnson, whose piano riffs were an essential part of the Berry sound, and in whose band Berry first began to perform.

We shall not see the likes of them again.

Ave atque vale.
