...on to even further rewards.



Wikipedia: "On June 2, 2008, Bo Diddley died at the age of 79 of heart failure at his home in Archer, Florida [18] Garry Mitchell, a grandson of Diddley and one of more than 35 family members at the musician's home when he died at about 1:45 a.m. EDT (0545 GMT), said his death was not unexpected."

The link: Bo Diddley at Wikipedia

And the link that started me off on this... quest: TIME Photo Essay on Bo Diddley
TIME: "Born in 1928 in McComb, Mississippi, Bo Diddley (birth name Ellas Otha Bates) was one of the key figures in the transformation of straight blues into rock and roll." Amen~!!
