Story Behind The Song
Chuck Berry's Classic tune recorded "live" back in 1964! Hard to believe I have a recording of a song I was part of that is over 50 years old!
I want to thank Bill Bradley for recording the song some 50 years ago in his mom's living room. Bill went on to be president of Madonna's record company, Maverick Records!
Also, kudos to my old producer-engineer and friend, Stephen Barncard, for salvaging the old tape and digitizing it so we could share the songs with future generations. God bless "Rock 'n Roll".....

Lyrics
"Johnny B. Goode"
by Chuck Berry
This is a tribute song to Chuck Berry. It is an old living-room recording of my very early 60's band performing it live... it is "raw & roll"....and certainly not a digital recording...but a fun tribute to early rock bands everywhere.
