There was no mention of Keith touching Chuck's guitar in the film. I don't recall if it was covered in Life. I'd love to get Chuck's version.

The Keef interview was fun, cute, in his 'elder statesman' guise he's playing these days. His Chuck Berry punch story was weird: he's been telling two different stories for years - Chuck punched him when he jumped onstage to jam in LA in '72 or so, Chuck pretending he didn't recognize him. The other that Chuck punched him in an elevator in the mid-'60s, again claiming not to recognize him. Get your (hilarious) nonsense anecdotes straight, Keith!

Disappointing that he wouldn't sit in with his mates Paul and Tommy. After all, music's what it's all about. Maybe he thought he couldn't cut it with the 'Mats? They killed it...

After seeing the interview and finding out there s a CD included of KEEF reading the book, I've decided to buy the book just to listen to the CD of KEEF reading the story! I'll read it to my little niece and nephews too. Maybe one of them will be inspired to play a musical instrument. Gotta love good old KEEF for getting sentimental in his old age!

on iTunes you can download the audiobook
for 6 euros

It's keith himself reading, but only 7 mns long.

However if you purchase the book you get
a CD with it, where the story is read by
an actor (forgot his name), plus intro & some guitar music by keith...? (according info on amazon)

So are these 2 different things?

& it runs for 7 minutes?

According to amazon (not reviewers):

***

A nostalgic look back at happy childhood days as the Rolling Stone star remembers his grandfather - a former big band player who encouraged his grandson to take up the guitar, in this charming picture book whimsically illustrated by Keith Richards' daughter.

Includes an exclusive CD with a reading of the story by a professional actor, James Langton, and a spoken introduction and additional guitar music from Keith

It says Read and performed by Keith Richards. It also says that Malaguena by Ernesto Lecuona is used by permission. So no Keith on guitar.

So no Keith on guitar.

I think KEEF is saying Ernesto Lecuona is the author of the song, and KEEF is playing the song. Its a very old song. Its the song his grandfather told him to learn how to play, and if he can master it, he can play anything. That the first song KEEF learned to play on his first guitar. That's what he said on Jimmy Fallon's show.

Ah, I just googled that guy and he was the author of the song and a piano player.

The wording in the book could be better then about Malaguena. Normally cover versions are better identified than this.

Here's the Wiki on the song and the author. Pretty interesting.
