BoDiddley special?
BoDiddley: Gretch makes guitars for me but I have my own designs. I'm designin'

Enorman57: what other guitarist make you say ..Damn!!!!!!!!!!
Nightrain: Shortly before leaving school he formed his first group, a trio named
The Hipsters, later known as The Langley Avenue Jive Cats, after the
Chicago street where he lived. Bo pursued a
variety of low paid occupations including truck driving, building site work and
boxing, playing
locally with his group to supplement his income. Around this time he married his
first wife Louise Woolingham, but the marriage did not
survive. A year
later, he married Ethel "Tootsie" Smith, who bore Daughter Evelyn
Tanya and son Ellas Anthony McDaniel.
WolfgangGuhl: You are not particularly a fan of Elvis. Are you, Bo? What do you
think of Jerry Lee Lewis?

fried
Nightrain: Hey Bo..........did you ever work with Jimi Hendrix?
BoDiddley: Johnny Guitar Watson, Muddy Waters, Jimmy Reed Elmore James and Scott
Free3
BoDiddley: Me and Chuck are good friends
WolfgangGuhl: I saw Chuck in January, Jerry last year. Jerry is in better shape
than in years, Chuck still duckwalking. Jerry now did get the Lifetime
Archivement Award.
WolfgangGuhl: I think it's crazy how they make money out of Ray Charles' death.
WolfgangGuhl: What do you think, Bo?
BoDiddley: No but I knew Jimi. He rained on my perade.
Nightrain: How is that???
BoDiddley: Alan Freed got songwriting credit because that is how payola worked
WolfgangGuhl: When he was still alive, his albums were great, but no hits. Now
he gets a dozen Grammys. Why don't they give people the credit why they are
still alive?
WolfgangGuhl: WHILE they are still alive
Enorman57: what are your memories of Muddy Waters..if any.
BoDiddley: I think Ray should have made this money while he was alive
Nightrain: ^5
BoDiddley: Muddy wanted to take my song 'I'm A Man' and put it out before I did.
