New York State Fair, Syracuse, N.Y. - August 23, 2001:

"Playing with Chuck at the State Fair was quite an experience… Chuck was late, forcing the opening act to significantly stretch out their set. He raced a large Lincoln hard into the infield behind the stage. He got out and handed a briefcase to management and said, 'First things first.’ Berry insisted being paid upfront - cash only. The promoter must have been previously made aware of what to expect with Mr. Berry…
After Chuck finished counting out his $20,000 in $100 dollar bills, he went to his dressing room and requested the presence of the bass player from the pickup band. The bass player came back with Berry's guitar in hand.

‘Did he give us a set list?’ Asked the drummer…

‘No, he just wants me to tune his guitar.'

As they were about to take the stage, Berry emerged to tell the roadie, ‘Put all the dials on my amp on nine.’”

Here's to cowboys, and here's to gold…

"John often used to tell the story behind Me And My Uncle. Years ago he began receiving publishing royalties from a song on a Judy Collins record with which he was unfamiliar. It was titled Me And My Uncle. He called Judy to let her know of the mistake because he hadn't written any such song. She laughed and told him that about a year before, in Arizona after one of her concerts, they had a tequila night back at the hotel with Stephen Stills, Neil Young and a few others. They were running a blank cassette and John proceeded to write Me And My Uncle on the spot. The next day, John woke up to the tequila sunrise with no recollection of the songwriting incident. Judy kept the cassette from that evening and then, without informing John, recorded the song for her own record. Over the years the song was recorded by several people, and eventually became a standard of the Grateful Dead. John used to joke that, little by little, with each royalty check, the memory of writing the song would come back to him."
