His guitar playing was based on his awesome Boogie Woogie piano player, Johnnie Johnson’s, piano riffs. Interesting. But I’d rather listen to Johnnie. Chuck’s lyrics were abdo-lutely great Rock and Roll poetry.

Keith Richards appears to be immortal.

I saw an interview where he said playing multiple strings lead was an accident because his fingers were too fat. I wish I had that problem.

I fell in love with John Johnson's piano when I heard "The Wee Wee Hours" (the B side of "Maybelline"). Even wrote to him, but no one ever wrote back.

You can see him here on a Berry/Clapton version of the song. Johnson shown from about the 1:30 mark.

Nice tribute by Keith Richards to the trademarked Berry bent-knee walk, too.

"The Wee Wee Hours"
