Being is the essence out of which all things evolve. This blog is an ongoing conversation of being in various facets and areas of life, including the personal and the professional from which relationships of all kinds are formed and teams built in all communities, virtual or real, at home, at work, in politics and at play.

Being Confident
Chuck Berry is confident and brilliant:
"Roll over, Beethoven, and tell Tchaikovsky the news."
What news might that be? Chuck Berry rocks!
Having confidence is the first step of any successful venture.
I am not sure how I managed to miss this post. I was co-chairing the Entertainment Committee for a community festival years ago and had the pleasure to talk to Mr. Berry's booking agent whom I believe was his wife. It would have been the simplest event ever to plan for. A room, rental car an a band that knew Chuck Berry's songs. The committe decided the fee was high (IT WASN'T GIVEN THE PERSON PERFORMING PEOPLE!). But it was an interesting experience and I learned a little bit as well...talent unparalleled for sure
Cool, Dave. I'm sure you had a great experience. I was a central figure for the entertainment for the year-long Detroit 300 which included some of the greatest R&B and jazz singers around. This too was a great experience. But I would have loved to have been even in the presence of Chuck Berry's wife. :-)

Love Chuck Berry and his songs!!! You, a fan too?
I love the way he summarises the change in music... from classical to rock n roll.
Talent unparalleled!!!
Brosreview - I LOVE Chuck Berry! And you have beautifully summed up his role in music "from classical to rock."
Berry also distinctly gave America, along with jazz and rhythm and blues artists, its distinct music. He rocks!
"Talent Unparalleled?" Indeed!
