I would be remiss if I were not to mention that today the rock and roll world lost one of its great pioneers, one that lived in Los Lunas, NM, just South of ABQ, where I live. Bo Diddley died today of a complications from a stroke and later heart attack.
He moved to Los Lunas, NM in the early 1970's, and was a deputy sherriff for two years in that city. He moved from Los Lunas in 1978 to Archer, Florida, and lived there till his death.
He was and is a icon for rock and roll, blues, American Music. Who could ever forget that riff for "Bo Diddley"? So many people copied that riff! Here is a little video clip to remember Diddley's style and sound.
