Classic Track Thursday


Chuck Berry - Johnny B Goode [mp3]


when my best friend was 12, she accompanied her parents to their super-loaded boss's 50th birthday party. he had hired Chuck Berry to play that night.

when she tried to tell me this story, she couldn't remember Chuck Berry's name, and as she described him to me and I said "no, you can't mean Chuck Berry" and she said "YES, HIM". she later confirmed with her mother and I have never been able to properly forgive her for having such an incredible, once-in-a-lifetime experience.

all we can do is sit here and thank Chuck for paving the road for rock n roll as we know it today.
