SouthernCelt | Obit: Bo Diddley (1928-2008) (36) | RE: Obit: Bo Diddley 2nd June 2008 | 02 Jun 08 |
I first heard Bo back when I was getting into rock music but never knew he was born (McComb, MS) just 30 miles away from where I grew up. I didn't find that out until I met another fellow from McComb who was closer in age to me and he told me that detail. Of course, Bo didn't live there for most of his life but his origin there has earned the town a marker on the Mississippi Blues Trail for identifying the places of origin of most of the famous blues musicians. |
