ADDIO BO

Just a quick note to mark the passing of Elvis McDaniels, the best rock and roller ever to come out of Jacksonville Florida. I remember listening over and over again to the scratchy album of Bo Diddley's 16 all time hits when I was in high school. I just listened to them again. I hat the opportunity to hear Bo play at a road house in Oswego County once. There was a steak dinner before the show, and only about ten of us showed up for the steak dinner. That meant we were all able to sit and eat and talk with Bo Diddley as he fueled up for the show.

Elvis McDaniels - Bo Diddley - one in the same. The beat is there, and continues in rock. If only he had gotten some of the royalties he deserved.

Addio Bo, I will miss you.

I certainly agree with you - I am one of the UK baby boomers and loved that type of music in the
60s (and still do).Apart from that I very much enjoy reading your blog. I am a Brit married to a Sicilian (prov. Agrigento)and we live in Belgium, we return twice a year and hopefully for quite a while when we retire in 2 years.
