My singing days have passed.
My voice is gone.
My throat is worn.
And my lungs are going fast.
~ Chuck Berry, (October 18, 1926 – March 18, 2107) as quoted in RollingStone.com, October 27, 2012

He was something else, the old rocker. Had a privilege to see him twice.
Wow. I would have been happy with 1x. Good for you.
Great photo. Though I’m sure CB’s lifestyle didn’t help much.
Sure seems like he sucked the marrow out of life. An epic talent….
