December 30th is Bo Diddley Day!!!"Born in 1928, Bo Diddley studied violin for years, but after hearing the music of blues legend John Lee Hooker, he switched to the guitar. Landing a record contract in 1955, Diddley reached the top 40 with ‘Pretty Things’ in 1956. Other famous songs include ‘Who Do You Love,’ ‘Mona,’ and ‘Before You Accuse Me.’ In 1987, Diddley was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame."
