When I was a sophomore in High School my life was changed for good, and for better, when a rockn roll hood moved in next door and soon introduced me to beer, girls and Bo Diddley. Hallelujah!
It is interesting that he was influenced by studying classical violin. I read some years ago that he was also influenced by a certain style of black fife and drum music that is played in parts of Mississippi. Whatever his roots and influences may have been he made unique and special music. He was a gift. Oh,I want some beer too.
Lets hope there is music "on the other side". And not just hymn singing. Im looking forward to hearing Bo jam with Fritz Kreisler and a black fife and drum band.
