I LOVE Chuck Berry.. I had 2 LPs that were orange see through (limited edition) that my dad had passed to me.

Also, so many songs that I wish I could remember the names of that we had on 8-track.

I think he stopped buying 8-tracks when Elvis died... I remember when that happened (think it was 1978?).
We were in his black Silverado shortbed driving to his helicopter when the news came on that Elvis had passed away.
I remember him saying that Elvis should have stayed away from drugs.. (I also remember the Elvis 8-track tapes were limited edition blue)

Ever since then, I avoided Elvis because I hate drugs... (as I have gotten older, I respect his music.. but still, hate drugs).

'77. I was on my honeymoon. We stayed the night in Memphis and heard the news on the way out of town the next morning.
