1433002	2017-03-20 03:28:00	Chuck Berry's "No Particular Place To Go" is my favorite: teenager troubles with a faulty seatbelt makes a great story . My first exposure to him was when we lived in Norfolk Virginia, where "that music" wasn't to be played on the white radio stations . I'd sneak a listen to it when the peeps went out for whatever reason and I got to hear some really exciting music - to my white ears . To this day I get a certain thrill when I hear his music - as if I'm doing something naughty, and again it brings back the certain punishment if I ever got caught listening to it . Even with both my peeps dead and I'm the sole patriarch (for the moment) - I still fear that maternal back of the hand if I get caught somehow . __________________________________________________ _________________________________ On another front: My knee is healing well since surgery on Feb 21st, and in a few days it'll be a month old . That's 1/3rd of the way to being able to do a lot of the things that are at the moment, restricted to me . I guess if my doc and the physical therapist saw me on the roof re-aiming our TV antenna and then cleaning out the wood stove chimney - they'd go ballistic on me . Why - just today I drove my tractor around to my wood pile and loaded up a 6' x 8' trailer with more firewood for heat . That would get me more than a sideways glance fer-sure! So-o-o - trying to be somewhat conservative since about 9PM last night - and NOT do anything risky - I tripped over one of my crutches and fell headlong into my bedroom door and falling upon one of my guitar hardcases, spraining the lower calf muscle in - yup - the same leg that just had surgery . Now since I'm not winning if I do or don't do hazardous things - it's all a crapshoot - right? Well - my therapist said that the knee itself is NOT damage-able - just muscles and tendons around it might be damaged . We'll see at tomorrows PT session . I limp a lot today - and I better not do that tomorrow!	SurferJoe46 (51)

1433004	2017-03-23 17:39:00	Yes John Lennon said that Chuck Berry wrote all the good guitar riffs and all the good intros. And it they were looking for another name for Rock n Roll and could have been Chuck Berry. His songs were great and he was great on stage. Look after yourself Joe	Digby (677)
1433005	2017-03-23 23:37:00	Stage presence is something that not many people have . It's unmistakable when you see it though . Chuck had it in spades . On my other front: My knee is well ahead of the curve for recuperation . I'm getting 128º on flex and 4º on extension; I'll make 0º extension in a few more treatments - and this is the most painful part of therapy . I cry and scream like a little girl, it hurts so bad! :devil 7968 My therapist said to not expect too much since my knee thinks it was hit by a train .	SurferJoe46 (51)

Take care . . . remind me of of Evil Knievel's fractured bones, though think he had expensive fusion surgery and plates bolted in his legs/hips . Watching the 1987 Chuck Berry/Keith Richards Concert on NZ Sky TV . . . some songs he sang, did not realize (or forgot) he wrote them . Many rock artists sang his songs . . . Stones, Elvis, Beatles . "Too much Monkey Business", "Little Queenie", and the short "Memphis, Tennessee" (What's the "ridge near the Mississippi bridge" that is referred to SJ?) . Also - Wonder if he was denied Hollywood presence to act in Movies in the 60's, unlike Elvis, and Avalon . . . seemed he got little front end exposure . . .	kahawai chaser (3545)
