www.rockandrollhistory.com *Disclaimer: this was pretty much the rough draft of the show i did a while back to see how i would outline it and get the structure figured out and if i actually even wanted to do a podcast. I was winging it mostly, so its extremely rough around the edges... That being said, its still recorded so i decided to put it up anyway.. I want to be completely transparent with you and take note of this starting point. Cheers! Today's Episode Celebrates the TRUE King Of Rock and Roll Chuck Berry - Johnny B. Goode live 1958 Muddy Waters - Got My Mojo Workin
