Rumblestripe Posted March 18, 2017 Report Share Posted March 18, 2017 Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans, Way back up in the woods among the evergreens There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood, Where lived a country boy named Johnny B. Goode Who never ever learned to read or write so well, But he could play a guitar just like a ringing a bell. He certainly could. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah he would have torn it up a good few years back but hasn't been in the best of health for a while. Jerry Lee Lewis is still alive mind!

I was his dressing room flunky/ runner. He didn't want much of a rider. Black coffee done just how he wanted..not too hot. China mug. Wasn't the chattiest musician. In fact he mainly said yes. No. Go away. More coffee. Unless you talked to him about his music, then he kinda smiled as if to ask "are you taking the piss or do you really wanna know" . He'd chat about America and tours there. Uk didn't seem to impress him. Got one of his guitar picks somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But what a musical legacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were any good he paid them. If not he kept all the cash. I hope he reckoned this 'local backing band' were worth a few dollars.
