Ellas

Ellas McDaniel has passed away. Known for his distinctive, square guitar and the rambling beat of his music, Bo Diddley was 79 years old. Back when I lived in Gainesville, the McDaniel family farmed over in Hawthorne [Wikipedia says he lived in Archer, but that's not how I remember things], and if you knew where to look, was even in the local phone book. You don't know Diddley... No Bo, no mo. My condolences to Ellas' family.
