I'm guessing Lucille is buried with him.

No, that's B.B. King's axe.

Bo's primary weapon of choice was "Big B."

I've got one of the Gretsch issued signature models. Great for playing on the lap.




Who do we love, Bo?

You!

R.I.P.

My boss was at Bo Diddly's performance in Omaha which was one of his last, if not the last performance. He was taken to the hospital in Omaha after the performance and spent a couple of days here.

At lunch today I asked if any updates had been given regarding Bo Diddly's condition. I guess this answers that question.

He was a great artist and will be missed.

RIP

One of his more legendary performances: 1966's TNT Show.

That's the Duchess on lead guitar. She and Bo are playing another of Diddley's guitar creations, the Jupiter.

Very innovative man.

Definetley one of the most iconic blues players, who invented his own unique rythm style eventually used by all the main rock bands.
