Sorry if this posts twice. I somehow made my last effort disappear.

Anyway, Ken Griffey is back on the Mariners. Whenever he bats they tell how many home runs he's hit on whatever day it is. It occurred to me that our man has been playing and recording so long that you could do the same thing.

According to The Autobiography Chuck Berry recorded the album "Bio" on June 3, 1973.

It is not the most momentous of dates, but I always liked "Bio." My favorite song was a kicked back instrumental called "Woodpecker." To me "Woodpecker" sounds just like Chuck Berry dancing behind T-Bone Walker in the Montreux video-- laid back, funky, and funny. I also liked "Got it and Gone." I even tried to get him to play it at a concert back in 1974. He just chuckled.

Though I had to read some negative criticism I always loved this album. Fortunately Chuck played "Bio" in many shows like here in Nice:
