R.I.P. Bo Diddley

[WLH]

His style was not for me but a pioneer for sure...

He was a true pioneer, I rememeber seeing an interview with Rory Gallagher, who was a great fan.

He just teneded to be a little hung up on himself, but a good guitarist/blues player.

I think he helped define a sound - calling him a good guitar player is a stretch.

He wrote more songs that were covered (and stolen) then anyone still alive. I love the first video: it was the era just when bell bottoms were coming into fashion and terrifically short pants were still being worn. Yuck.

Listening to his music was a lot like Dixieland music to me. It was hard to keep from tapping my foot. It made me happy. I for one appreciated his talent. I play a little guitar and compared to me, he is a virtuoso. RIP brother, RIP.
