Bo Diddley Tribute

My family moved to Granada Hills, California in 1972 and bought Bo Diddley's old house at 17541 Minnehaha Street. He'd stop by the old neighborhood when he was in town and talk cars and such with all his old friends in the neighborhood, and everyone was his friend. I was a shy, underconfident teenager and he was very nice to me. He complimented my ability on a unicycle, said nice things about my 1931 Model A truck and gave my little sisters rides around the neighborhood in his shiny, tricked-out baby blue Cadillac hearse. He was not just a great performer but a wonderful, generous, friendly person. I will miss him.
