  1. "Mannish Boy" (or "Manish Boy" as it was first labeled) is a #bluesStandard written by #MuddyWaters, #MelLondon, and #BoDiddley (with Waters and Diddley being credited under their birth names). First recorded in 1955 by Waters, it serves as an "#answerSong" to Bo Diddley's "#ImAMan", which was in turn inspired by Waters' and #WillieDixon's "#HoochieCoochieMan". "Mannish Boy" features a repeating #stoptime figure on one chord throughout the song.

  7. I have plenty of latter-day #BoDiddley songs in my collection (1996’s 𝘈 𝘔𝘢𝘯 𝘈𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘨𝘴𝘵 𝘔𝘦𝘯 is one of my favorites), but I never sat down to listen to his earliest work. His first two albums, 𝗕𝗼 𝗗𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘆 and 𝗚𝗼 𝗕𝗼 𝗗𝗶𝗱𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘆, are jointly listed on the Rolling Stone Top 500 Albums list at #216, and after a few listens, I am convinced this guy co-invented rock and roll. #music (cont)

  21. A classic, electrifying 1965 performance by Bo Diddley, with a line-up including the Duchess (Norma-Jean Watford) on rhythm guitar - it doesn't really get better than this:

    Bo Diddley: Hey Bo Diddley & Bo Diddley (from The Big T.N.T. Show, 1966)

  27. From his self-titled first release, well before he and Bo Diddley invented a genre I've always called "Big Beat" but I probably made that up. #LinkWray #BoDiddley #fuckICE

  28. My first RISC-V program, running on an ESP32-S3 Arduino Nano, driven through a haptic piezoelectric motor, playing a Bo Diddley beat at 140 BPM with a 30 Hz vibration. Need to listen closely... It's a haptic motor after all, not a speaker.
