Chuck Leavell, current keyboardist for the Stones (who also played with George Harrison and Clapton), made an appearance at Central Michigan University yesterday and talked with the 2008 grads. Can you believe he learned to play piano by listening to his mom play? Amazing! He stressed to the students how important it was to have high principles guide you in life…

“The pursuit of excellence can take you to the Super Bowl or the Hollywood Bowl, if you’re committed,” Leavell said. “If you keep these principles in life, no matter what you’ve chosen to do, you will be successful.”

An honorary Doctor of Music degree was presented to Chuck at the ceremonies. I think this was a lovely way to honor him, after all he’s contributed to the music world. Way to go, Chuck!
