    Tinnitus Beware

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    My earplugs go everywhere with me and I wear them in the car, definately on the London underground, practically any time I play anything louder than an acoustic guitar. The TV at home is almost always quiet.

    If only I'd done all that before I got tinnitus

    Chuck Berry

    There's so much to be said about Chuck Berry and an RIP thread where people pay their respects to the man perhaps isn't the best place, so here's a thread for discussion of the man and his influence on music

    Whatever people say about the way he lived his life, I've no doubt that music wouldn't be what it is today without Chuck Berry. Rock and Roll just wouldn't be what it is without him.

    Without a doubt, the song I've played most often on stage is Johnny B Goode, everyone knows it.

    Later edit; Chuck's songs have been on my mind all day. This is one I won't forget

    A truly sad day

    Over to you

    RIP Chuck Berry

    An originator and a pioneer the like of which doesn't exist anymore. RIP.
