RIP: Bo Diddley

[Easto]

Just saw this in the news today. I think I'm going to get my guitar and do a little tribute today. A great loss.

Thank you Bo...

He influenced so many early Rock n Roll bands. RIP

I've said for years I was going to sit down and make a box guitar. RIP Bo.

You will be greatly missed.

I just purchased (last week) a Bo Diddley CD, much to the chagrin of my wife, who has no appreciation for that genre'. He will be missed.

"in Philidelphia it's worth 50 bucks"

A Bo Diddley line from what movie?

Very quick response!

Very quick response!

I'd say Doc was a fan.

Musical anthropologist credit Bo's beat to the Hambone, from the days of slavery. Bo, in one interview on NPR gives credit to Roy Rogers. Many considered him to be a comedian.

Doc.

Otha Ellas McDanial, a big man with a big sound. If you listen to rock, you listen to echos of Bo.

I heard about Bo's passing today and he will be missed. As a guitar player for more than 20 years, I can hear his influence in just about all of the rock music in my lifetime. He did not get the recognition he deserved in his lifetime. RIP.

 

[LilBastage]

A very under appreciated (by most) man. I was saddened to hear of his passing and I've been listening to his music all day. I'm not a musician of any kind, but I can really hear and feel his music and influence.
