I don't often agree with my friend Adam, but on this, I definately agree. IMO, there would be no Chuck Berry as we knew him, or his influence on early rock and roll, without T-Bone Walker. Chuck not only adapted T-Bone's style and phrasing - especially including some of his signature licks (e.g., staccato note bends) - but he also took his stagecraft. When I listen to Chuck Berry, I'm hearing T-Bone.
