Our Father of St. Louis Shuffle

[Beelzebob]

I thought this was a well known moniker, but I googled it and nothing came up.  Our Father of St. Louis is Chuck Berry, at least I heard him called when I was a teenager.  I didn't do a tribute to him in March when he died, so here it is.  I have a friend from high school, a bass player, who backed him up once.  CB was notoriously cheap, would rarely hire a touring band, he would just find musicians in each town.  He was 75 and asked my friend to tune his guitar for him.  Chuck told them to play the same thing on each song, just changed the key and tempo.  Made it nice and easy.  And he didn't switch keys in the middle of the song, as he had a reputation for doing.
