Basic Biittner : The Greatest, without a Doubt

Thanks largely to my having a brother who is seven years older than I, I became an avid follower of pop music from the time I was 6 , which was basically at the "Dawn of Rock and Roll." And so it was that I literally grew up on the music of Elvis, Buddy Holly, Little Richard, the Everly Brothers, Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, and Jerry Lee Lewis.

The Twenty-Eights Play Tribute to Chuck Berry at The 5 Spot
