Creator , innovator , originator , inspirational , influential , musical genius , Grandfather of Rock and Roll , the Father of Rock and Roll , the original Guitar God , ...just to mention a few .
Being a long-time St. Louisan there are way too many tales to tell about Sir Charles Berry , and , some of them are even true .
He still plays here once a month at a notorious little rock and roll burger joint called Blueberry Hill . Every show - sold out . Though he is notoriously cantankerous the man is a gem and a civic treasure .
When the live performance portions of his life story " Hail ! Hail ! Rock And Roll ! " were filmed at the Fabulous Fox Theatre in 1987 trust me when I tell you , it was a great big deal ! That was the hottest ticket in town that year . You know you are somebody when Keith Richards himself is the musical director of your lifes celebration .
Allman Brothers guitar great Dickie Betts once said " Every respectable guitarist had to go through the Chuck Berry portal when learning to play the guitar . "
I can't say enough about Chuck Berry - he simply kicks ass !Comment
