I started listening to rock and roll in early '58 just as San Francisco's great rock station, KYA, was starting. Chuck Berry was already a regular on the playlist.
A nice piece of trivia I learned today, one that I should have already known... This June 7th will be the 54th anniversary of the release of the Rolling Stones' first record. It was a cover of Chuck Berry's, Come On. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58DVVj-ZeYA
"It takes a lot of devotion and work, or maybe I should say play, because if you love it, that's what it amounts to. I haven't found any shortcuts, and I've been looking for a long time."
