So of the big band and early rock stuff we listened to Johnny B. Goode was easily my favorite. I think that you could've told me it was made 20 years later and I would've believed it. Chuck Berry also seemed to be the coolest show of anyone we watched. Not that it would'nt be insane to see the wild Piano man Jerry Lewis, or Little Richard, but Berry seemed to be the act I would like to see the most. I've actually been practicing my Duck Walk ever since seeing it. I'm a little but rough with it, but I think if I gained an interesting and fairly pleasant singing voice and I learned how to play guitar, I'm sure I could perform as a white Chuck Berry impersonator.
I was not as crazy about Little Richard. I think he's really talented but I'm not sure he's really that interesting to me compared to Chuck Berry. Maybe that's because I prefer guitar to piano, but there have been so many pianists since then and because of Berry's earlier technology I think his guitar sounds much more unique to me.
Of course I have to love Buddy Holly, partially just because he's the only person I've ever heard of that has come out of Lubbock and he's a Texas guy. But his music is also pretty cool and still very listenable even today.
