**Remember the days when a tune could send your spirits soaring
sky-high?**

**Let's test that memory.**

****Let's Play: 'On This Date in Chuck Berry History'. ****

 

 

Let's take a stroll down memory lane,

**just you and me.**

**Do you remember the year when Chuck Berry's guitar became the
heartbeat of our generation?**

**Close your eyes for a second and let's go back to that era of
slicked-back hair and the scent of freedom that lingered at every street
corner.**

I can still hear that song, the one that had us all feeling like rock
'n' roll royalty.

I

**t was "Johnny B. Goode," and it blasted from every jukebox and car
radio, didn't it?**

"Go, go, go Johnny go! Go, go, Johnny B. Goode. He used to carry his
guitar in a gunny sack, go sit beneath the tree by the railroad track."

**It was more than a melody; it was a revolution set to music.**
Remember the buzz around the school hallways, the excited chatter as the
DJ spun that record again and again?

Now, I'm thinking back, trying to recall that exact moment when "Johnny
B. Goode" climbed its way to the top, becoming an immortal anthem of our
youth.

**Question:**What year was it?

A) 1952

B) 1955

C) 1957

D) 1958

**(Answers below)**

 

 

I'm dusting off some Chuck Berry records and "Maybellene" just came on.
But here's the thing-I'm hung up on a few missing lyrics, and I've got
a hunch you might remember them.



** **

"As I was motorvatin' over the hill, I saw ________, in a Coupé de
Ville. A Cadillac a-rollin' on the open road, nothing will outrun my V8
________."

Alright, let's put those rock 'n' roll memories to the test! Can you
recall the missing pieces of this iconic "Maybellene" riff?

Fill in the blanks:

A) "Maybellene" / "Ford"

B) "Mabellene" / "Chevy"

C) "Madeline" / "Ford"

D) "Mary" / "Chevy"

**Which one's the right fit? Let's get this tune back on track together.
(Answers at the bottom)**

After piecing together the runaway lines of 'Maybellene', let's shift
gears and cruise straight into 'Memory Lane'.

**Now, it's not just about the lyrics but the moments they framed. **

 

 

**You know**, every time I hear "Maybellene" start up, it's like
stepping into a time machine.

**Remember those nights, the ones where we felt like we were the kings
and queens of the world?**

The drive-in theaters with their larger-than-life screens, the soda
fountains where every flavor tasted like freedom-I can't help but
wonder,

**where were you when that tune first rocked the airwaves?**

We were all somewhere special when "Maybellene" captured the spirit of
the times. Was it the flickering glow of the drive-in that lit up your
face, or the energy of the high school dance where we learned to twist
and shout?

Maybe it was the crackle of the transistor radio that brought Chuck
Berry's voice into our lives, or perhaps it was on the television
screen, where we watched music change right before our eyes.

**So, tell me:**

A) Were you parked under the stars at a drive-in, with that melody
drifting through the night?

B) Were you on the dance floor, feeling every beat in the soles of your
shoes?

C) Were you huddled close to your radio, as "Maybellene" became your new
favorite song?

D) Or were you in front of the TV, where the energy of American
Bandstand made you feel alive?

Let's reminisce for a moment. Close your eyes, let the music play, and
take yourself back to that instant.

Where were you when "Maybellene" became the beat of a generation?

Which Chuck Berry track was the vinyl of your life's soundtrack?

****It's time to spin the record, pick your favorite, and let those
cherished melodies carry us away once more.****

 

 

You know, I sometimes catch myself mid-thought, a Chuck Berry riff
playing in the back of my mind, and it's like I'm right there again-

**footloose and fancy-free in the '50s**.

Each of his songs is like a marker on the roadmap of my younger days.

**Does it feel the same for you?**

I remember "Maybellene" being more than just a hit; it was a race we
were all running, the soundtrack to the thrill of newfound freedom.

And "No Particular Place to Go"? That one's a ride I never wanted to
end, a tune for every drive with no destination but the horizon ahead.

Then there's "You Never Can Tell"-I bet it played in the background of
your first love, the kind that still warms you on cold nights.

Or was "Sweet Little Sixteen" the one that captured the heart-pumping
excitement of being on the brink of everything?

**Pick your tune, turn it up, and let the good times roll! Click each
link if you'd like to listen, the song will open up in a new tab)**

A) Maybellene - the race
is on.

B) No Particular Place to Go
- just you, the road, and
that sweet freedom.

C) You Never Can Tell - the
soundtrack to every love story.

D) Sweet Little Sixteen -
the pulse of a generation in full swing.

The Gibson ES-350T was more than a guitar; it was Chuck Berry's
co-conspirator in crafting the licks that led the rock 'n' roll charge.
This piece of music memorabilia is a hallowed relic of a time when rock
was young and so were we.
