Bo Diddley, Bo Diddley have you heard. . . .

Bo Diddley came to town this past week.

Then he had a stroke, as mentioned in an earlier post. So he's still here . . . in the hospital.

Thanks be to God, he's doing much better now, and doctors seem to think that -- with speech therapy -- he'll be able to return to performing. But we came too close to losing another rock / soul / R&B legend, here.

SOOOOOOO . . . how's about we do something novel this week? We're going to celebrate a great artist while he's still around to hear the applause. Bo Diddley, here's to you!

We're going to hear several Diddley delights on The Big Show, and if you listen closely, you'll hear a little bit of Diddley in a lot of the musical lineup. And your Mighty Favog is -- with tongue slightly in cheek -- doing it up in '50s Screamin' Top-40 DJ style.

And, boy, does his imperial throat hurt.

Bo Diddley. Doesn't get much better than that.


Download the show from the player at the top right of the page. Or go here.

Be there. Aloha.
