Sunday Birthday Brunch With Chuck Berry
By Bob Berry
Chuck Berry turns the Big 89 today, 10/18.
He’s one of the original Six inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall of Fame.
He’s a guitar innovator and a poet, who showed the way for every guitar player who followed. Especially those English chaps, from John, Paul and George to Keith Richards, Jimmy Page, Eric Clapton and the rest of the British Invasion.
His songs are indelibly printed into our collective musical DNA. “Maybellene”, “Roll Over Beethoven”, “School Days”, “Memphis”, “Rock And Roll Music”, “Sweet Little Sixteen”, and (the partly biographical) “Johnny B. Goode“.
As John Lennon said, “If you tried to give rock and roll another name, you might call it ‘Chuck Berry’.”
We’re serving Keener’s Sunday Brunch on the dance floor today, as we honor a true National Treasure.
Hail, Hail, Chuck Berry!
