I just heard too. 90 years is a pretty good stretch. Reflecting on the man, his music was nothing virtuous but it's impact is reverberating to this day. He was part of a musical movement that seduced many an impressionable ear and I count myself as one of the initiated. For better or worse, I will always appreciate the joie de vivre he in part lent to what has come to be known as rock and roll.
Contrary to what James Bond says, a good Gibson should be stirred, not shaken.

Even if you weren't influenced by him, you were influenced by him.

Thanks for everything, Chuck.

I sure wish he had lived long enough to see the release of his forthcoming album.

Sometimes our legends do die, and Chuck, sadly, was no exception.  The man toured many years of his later career playing only with pick up bands. That's balls.

It's impressive that a ninety year old rocks out.

But the sound is horrible. That guitar sounds like an egg cutter.
Wish they'd re-amp the guitar parts to make them sound better. So it would be a better salute to the legend called Chuck Berry.

I'm guessing that the guitar sounds exactly like Chuck wanted.
