Chuck Berry

The unofficial king of rock 'n' roll music was (and is) grounded in the blues. If any one individual is to be credited with being the originator of rock 'n' roll it is Chuck Berry. So much of America's music finds its roots in the blues from the music of Jimmy Rodgers (the father of country music) to the jazz of Louis Armstrong and Duke Ellington to the rock 'n' roll of Elvis Presley, Little Richard and Chuck Berry. At age 73, Chuck continues to tour and plays once a month at Blueberry Hill in St. Louis, Mo.

My sketches are becoming more caricature-ish and cartoon like which is something I want. If these eventually look like they walked off the pages of an R. Crumb comic book, I would be overjoyed

  1. LOL... I watched the R.Crumb documentary again last night and HE did sketches of musicians too.
