Who else would have you thinking about "coffee colored Cadillacs" and such. About yelling "like a southern diplomat". https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=myPzYiTLvK0 Hope I can last as long as you. Loved "Roll over Beethoven" far better than Johnny be Good. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WXQLyzeysGU You won't be forgotten.

Down here in SE Florida one needs both cat like reflexes as well as the HP to avoid way too many issues. So, if you see one with the plate that reads SSBN599 (Delaware) that'd be me.

When I worked in St Louis in the 80's & early 90's Chuck Berry would always perform on the plaza outside Busch Stadium on opening day of the baseball season. His entire outfit was "Cardinal Red" including his fedora, shoes and even his guitar. He always put on a great show and was very approachable after he was done playing.
