They Call it Stormy Monday

Bo Diddley But Tuesday’s just as bad…. A famous tune by T-Bone Walker, They Call it Stormy Monday and in the music industry yesterday could be considered just that.

With the loss of Bo Diddley at age 79 yesterday, we can truly say Tuesday’s just as bad.

Bo Diddley built the bridge over the waters of blues into rock with a career beginning by playing on street corners. Bo Diddley played what he liked, an unusual instrument called the “Twang Machine” by Gretsch, being an individual and creating a style that would land him in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 1987.

Rest in Peace Bo Diddley - I chose the dove to accompany a great musical talent onto his journey to meet with the many great guitar stringers that have gone before him.

I would like to thank Fool for requesting the drawing you see before you!

Wow, That is the first song I learned to play in entirety. We plyy it at the jams because it is easy. I like to play the Hendrix and SRV stuff only, but it is way to complicated for our Jam members, Now.

You know what I remember about him? Aside from his music it’s the commercial that he made with Bo Jackson.
