Saw Bo Diddley in Boston Friday night - he's still as cool as they come. Backed by Entrain, (from Martha's Vineyard - Boston area L'ers will recognize these guys from the Jordan's Furniture commercial) Bo had the entire place captivated for an hour or so. He mentioned how grateful he was to have lived to see the change in society since the "old days". Back in '55, Boston cops trashed his hotel room lookin' for dope. Unfortunately, many of his contemporaries didn't live long enough to see the state of today's "blues society". Man, I could've listened to his stories all night.
Anyways, he brought a harp player with him but I don't know his name. Poor guy got kind of lost in the shuffle as Entrain has six or seven bandmembers. I could barely hear him but from what I did hear, he was first class. Anyone know?
