RIP, Chuck!!
Was he the first to do the duck-walk?
Yep, he was notorious for that. He’d show up about five minutes before start, plug in and start to play. No rehearsal, no set list, no tuning, etc. “What song are we gonna play?”
“A Chuck Berry song!!”
There are a few examples on YT where this worked out about as well as one might expect.
