I had posted in the RIP thread, but he’s such an essential part of my personal playlist that it was inadequate. Alexa, play Chuck Berry music. Roll over, Beethoven!
Every Christmas I give my grandson a silver bell tied on a string. My daughter is not nearly as amused as I am by that.
I am sad.
That guy’s got the sound, baby.
another version, fun…
never can tell
The best college homecoming tent party in my history. Chuck Berry was the act. I was a student, but he was perfect for the wide range of ages in attendance.
…Now I want to drink a $5 milkshake and enter a twist contest.
Very sad to hear about his passing.
