Bo Diddley

Bo Diddley lives in Clearwater, Florida, I believe. Now theres a roots rocker, if there ever was one. Bo made his own guitars, and I particularly dig the square ones. The scooter is a trip, too. I heard Bo has had some serious health issues lately, and wish him well. I hate to see one of the orignals taken from us. Was listening lately to a boot of a Chuck Berry concert, from this year, somewhere in Europe. He now tours with his own bank, including his son, Chuck Junior, and daughter, the former a good guitar player, and the latter a good harp player and blues shouter. This is superior to the old days, when Chuck would tour by himself, and hire a pick-up band whereever he was playing on a particular night. That led to some rough mixes. Chuck always did things his own way, though, and continues to. He will quit or change a some in mid verse, if he feels a notion to. Chuck is 80+, and hope he goes on forever.
