“I first heard Bo Diddley in 1966.  I knew the Rolling Stones were big on this guy and I got a copy of Bo Diddley’s 16 All-Time Greatest hits and flipped over it, and played it constantly.  I first met him in 1979, and as years went on we got closer and closer.  I still do ‘Who Do You Love’ and ‘Ride On Josephine.’  It’s an honor to be associated with his great music.  I just had ‘Hand Jive’ on last night.  It goes, ’A Doctor, a lawyer and an Indian Chief/They all dig that Diddley beat.’  That says it all.”
