Aww, sad.
My small connection. Chuck didn't tour with a band, he had local backup bands wherever he went. Here in the great lakes area, he used our local band Bob Baldori and the Woolies. I've known Bob for about 50 years, he recorded our band's records, and over the years my shop maintained his stage gear. As the backup band, they had to provide amplifiers for CHuck. CHuck showed up with a guitar and that was it. Before any shows, Bob brought over the two big Fender Dual Showman heads, and we made sure they were 100% ready.
So, no, I never met Chuck - Mr. Berry to anyone - but whenever he was in the area, I got to play through his amps for a little while.
