Chuck Berry

No i dont think so The above is incorrect; Chuck mentioned at least two brothers in his memoir which appeared about 20 years ago. There was an older brother Henry Jr, who started using the the nickname Hank while serving in the U.S. Army, as well as the youngest sibling Paul. I don't know if Paul or Henry Berry are still living, or what they have done in their adult lives, except that both Chuck and Hank--as the latter came to be called after his Army stint--started out working with their father on construction and repair jobs. I think Hank continued in that line; there's no mention in the memoir of him doing music. There was also at least once sister Thelma, who was gifted as a vocalist and studied operatic singing for a time.

Berry's first guitar was a Kay electric. Later on he almost always played semi-acoustic Gibsons. The most frequent being an ES-335 stereo model.

California

A Gibson; hollow body.

Which time? There were a few times, for different reasons. In 1944, before he could graduate high school, he was arrested and convicted of armed robbery after taking a joy ride with his friends to Kansas City, Missouri. In his 1987 autobiography, Chuck Berry: The Autobiography, he retells the story that his car broke down on the side of a highway and, not having a way home, flagged down a passing car. Berry attempted to commandeer the man's car at gunpoint with a non-functional pistol. The carjacked man called the police from a nearby pay phone; they quickly pulled over Berry in the car and arrested him and his friends. Berry was released from the Intermediate Reformatory for Young Men at Algoa, near Jefferson City, Missouri on his 21st birthday in 1947. In December 1959, Berry was arrested under the Mann Act after an allegation that he had sex with a 14-year-old waitress whom he had transported over state lines to work as a hat check girl at his club. After an initial two-week trial in March 1960, Berry was convicted, fined $5,000, and sentenced to five years in prison. Berry's appeal that the judge's comments and attitude were racist and prejudiced the jury against him was upheld, and a second trial was heard in May and June 1961, which resulted in Berry being given a three-year prison sentence. After another appeal failed, Berry served one and one half years in prison from February 1962 to October 1963. Berry pleaded guilty to tax evasion and was sentenced to four months in prison and 1,000 hours of community service-doing benefit concerts-in 1979. And in 1990, Berry pleaded guilty to misdemeanor possession of marijuana. He was given a six-month suspended jail sentence, two years' unsupervised probation, and ordered to donate $5,000 to a local hospital.

Yes he is. He will be 90 years old in October 2016
