May 21 marked the 50th anniversary of Chuck Berry's first recording session: Our tribute spotlighting his influence continues

even jimi hendrix was known to play a good old fashioned chuck berry song once in a while.. his posthumous live lp release - the first of dozens- "hendrix in the west"- reprise MS 2049 - included berry's "johnny b. goode"... my favorite performance on this album, however, has to be his smoking blues tune "red house"...
