The statue of St. Louisan Chuck Berry in the Delmar Loop. He frequently performed at Blueberry Hill across the street. I had forgotten how old this statue is. It was dedicated on July 29, 2011 and I went to photograph it. I was slightly acquainted with the sculptor, Harry Weber - I had photographed some of his other work - and he got me into the private reception at Blueberry Hill. I’ve photographed Berry in concert but that’s when I got a close-up. https://tinyurl.com/3x9adbaw

We had a Swedish rocker back in the day. He called himself Jerry Williams. He had the most Stockholm accent I have ever heard. His nickname for Chuck Berry was Chucken. Nice photo here.
What an amazing statue!
