Tune-age Tuesdays: 6/3

A Special Memorial Tribute to the late Ellas Bates.
But you probably knew him better as Bo Diddley (1928-2008):



From 1966's The Big TNT Show: Bo Diddley, with drummer Clifton James, bassist Roosevelt Jackson, and
the amazing Bo-ettes; Norma-Jean Wofford a/k/a "The Duchess" on the second guitar, Lilly "Bee Bee" Jamieson, and Gloria Morgan.

He left us too soon at the age of 79, and I'll leave you with one of my favorite of his songs that really needs no introduction:



Man it's been a bad week. Can we please stop it with the memorials?!? First Harvey Korman, and now this. Color me massively bummed.
