    I'm almost 80 and remember when he was young. He changed the sound, the beat, the timbre and the subject matter of rock n roll. He also created the first youth groupie song ('Sweet Little Sixteen'), and the very first youth protest song ('School Daze'). After him, every rock and blues guitar player had to play his chops in one way or another. He was a genius and the Jimi Hendrix of his day. RIP my Brother.

    Chuck Berry 👍👉💓💓💓
    Lyrics:
    Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans
    Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
    There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
    Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode
    Who never ever learned to read or write so well
    But he could play a guitar just like a-ringin' a bell
    Go, go
    Go Johnny, go, go
    Go Johnny, go, go
    Go Johnny, go, go
    Go Johnny, go, go
    Johnny B. Goode
    He used to carry his guitar in a gunny sack
    Go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track
    Oh, the engineers would see him sitting in the shade
    Strumming with the rhythm that the drivers made
    The people passing by they would stop and say
    "Oh my what that little country boy could play"
    Go, go
    Go Johnny, go, go
    Go Johnny, go, go
    Go Johnny, go, go
    Go Johnny, go, go
    Johnny B. Goode
    His mother told him "someday you will be a man
    And you will be the leader of a big old band
    Many people coming from miles around
    To hear you play your music when the sun go down
    Maybe someday your name will be in lights
    Saying "Johnny B. Goode tonight"
    Go, go
    Go Johnny, go
    Go, go, go Johnny, go
    Go, go, go Johnny, go
    Go, go, go Johnny, go
    Go
    Johnny B. Goode

We were all trying to learn and play his chops. There was one passage in his instrumental 'Liverpool Drive' that we were waiting for, to see how he did it - when he got to it, he was leaning over to talk to someone in the audience!
