He...I remember chuck berry during the late sixties. He came to Phoenix, Arizona for a gig at the State Fair Coloseum. He was at least an hour late. The crowds were getting angry. He used to hire local bands to back him up wherever he had a gig. The band was Grabiel. The musicians were superior in every way to this crude musician known as chuck berry. He finally showed up, drunk. He was a punk. He started playing his set. During the first song. He gave a cue for the guitarist to fill with a lead solo. The guitarist was a young man by the name Johnny Carasco. He played a blinding artistic fill in solo. It made Chuckles angry because it made him look small and limited as a musician. Berry went right up to Johnny's amp and unplugged it. Next if memory serves, Berry proceeded to cut off the band's organist who was also stellar. Finally the management unplugged Chuck Berry and told him to get off the stage. I remember it well as did my group of friends who were there. I have absolutely no respect for this clown. As I also remember, he had been released from serving time in prison. In a video years ago Berry punched Keith Richard in the face for not playing the guitar along with him the way he thought it should be played. A crude guitarist who couldn't begin to understand a musician such as Wes Montgomery, I find it difficult to consider him as anything great.
