Sad news.
My ding-a-Ling was always a good way to slip in a double entendre when chatting up the girls.
RIP

Having been burned, having some issues with the IRS and after studying accounting, Chuck became very concerned about the business side of the business, he never takes the stage unless he is paid in full and only in cash. One notable occasion was in Australia in 1975 where Berry was caught at Sydney Airport with $50,000 in cash in a briefcase

Obviously I'd heard of him but I didn't know much about him. I read he was convicted for armed robbery and again for paedophilia. Sounds like a nice chap.
He obviously should have been a politician instead..
The ladies can go to the loo now without any hidden cams about.

What happened there? I typed, "Are you a SJM, lybertyne? Chuck was only the Grand-daddy of rock 'n' roll, without whom some of the greatest bands would never have existed."
I'll bet you know at least half-a-dozen of his tunes.

RIP chuck.
He was Mr Rock n Roll.
Legend doesn't even get close. There would be no Rolling Stones without Chuck Berry. Probably no Beatles either.

You can forgive the armed robbery given his upbringing and circumstances but peadophilia
BBC just reported it as immorality with a 14 year old, that sounds much nicer than a peado. Perhaps we should change Sir Jimmy Saville's convictions to that and we'll all love him again...Can't really say RIP but his music changed a generation.
The first thing that sprung to mind was Marty McFly singing "Johnny be good" in Back to the Future.
A true rocknroll legend..however he did get busted for fitting hidden cameras in the ladies toilets in a bar/club he owned.

Dear Pat,
So sorry not to have written before (I plead insane) in bluebottle voice. Exit right amid deafening applause.
I do hope you're very well.
We have survived yet another glorious English Winter. I wonder which day Summer falls on this year?
Oh but my dear I have been soooo busy since Christmas beside working at school. You know I was keen on Chuck Berry and I thought I was the only fan for miles but one mornin' on Dartford Stn. (that's so I don't have to write a long word like station) I was holding one of Chuck's records when a guy I knew at primary school 7-11 yrs y'know came up to me. He's got every record Chuck Berry ever made and all his mates have too, they are all rhythm and blues fans, real R&B I mean (not this Dinah Shore, Brook Benton crap) Jimmy Reed, Muddy Waters, Chuck, Howlin' Wolf, John Lee Hooker all the Chicago bluesmen real lowdown stuff, marvelous. Bo Diddley he's another great.
Anyways the guy on the station, he is called Mick Jagger and all the chicks and the boys meet every Saturday morning in the 'Carousel' some juke-joint well one morning in Jan I was walking past and decided to look him up. Everybody's all over me I get invited to about 10 parties. Beside that Mick is the greatest R&B singer this side of the Atlantic and I don't mean maybe. I play guitar (electric) Chuck style we got us a bass player and drummer and rhythm-guitar and we practice 2 or 3 nights a week. SWINGIN'.
Of course they're all rolling in money and in massive detached houses, crazy, one's even got a butler. I went round there with Mick (in the car of course Mick's not mine of course) OH BOY ENGLISH IS IMPOSSIBLE.
"Can I get you anything, sir?"
"Vodka and lime, please"
"Certainly, sir"
I really felt like a lord, nearly asked for my coronet when I left.
Everything here is just fine.
I just can't lay off Chuck Berry though, I recently got an LP of his straight from Chess Records Chicago cost me less than an English record.
Of course we've still got the old Lags here y'know Cliff Richard, Adam Faith and 2 new shockers Shane Fenton and Jora Leyton SUCH CRAP YOU HAVE NEVER HEARD. Except for that greaseball Sinatra ha ha ha ha ha ha ha.
Still I don't get bored anymore. This Saturday I am going to an all night party.
"I looked at my watch
It was four-o-five
Man I didn't know
If I was dead or alive"

Reeling and a Rocking
12 galls of Beer Barrel of Cyder, 3 bottle Whiskey Wine. Her ma and pa gone away for the weekend I'll twist myself till I drop (I'm glad to say).
The Saturday after Mick and I are taking 2 girls over to our favourite Rhythm & Blues club over in Ealing, Middlesex.
They got a guy on electric harmonica Cyril Davies fabulous always half drunk unshaven plays like a mad man, marvelous.
Well then I can't think of anything else to bore you with, so I'll sign off goodnight viewers

I heard on the radio earlier that he played guitar one time Eric Burdon (sp?) of The Animals sang "House Of The Rising Sun" live in London in the 70's.
Does anyone know of it?
Link?

First 45s I bought with my paper round pay, Johny B Goode was one of them no Chuck Berry no Rock music.
R.I.P. Chuck ...he lived life on the edge but his music will go on forever.
I played in a band in the 60,s (fabulous time) and covered many of his numbers....just love doing 'em.
Johnny B. Goode, Route 66, Roll over Beethoven ...
