18. And there you have it. Life's fleeting.

We should enjoy it, do what we can to make the world better, and get on with what's left of it.

17. Blueberry Hill is my definition of old school Rock and Roll.

And yes Buddy Holly, Jerry Lee Lewis, and of course Elvis were more musically influential then Chuck Berry, but to me the inconography of Chuck at his piano singing while leaning in towards the camera symbolizes Rocks early days.

. . .jump into the second line. . .cut the body loose. . .

Thanks for all the music, Fats.
