Bo Diddley

I have Bo Diddley albums that cover all kinds of material- rock, blues, and, of course- Bo Diddley music. Like Chuck Berry- he could’ve written the same song a million times over and every one of them would be great. You never get tired of that beat. Seeing him while hearing him play was as surreal and intense as it gets. The man, the guitar, the maracas and band replaced your own eyes, ears, and heart when he played. Heart failure? The beat goes on- forever.
