When I saw Bo with Ron Wood(s) 16 ? 17 years ago - Bo introduced Ron as Ronney Wood(s) of The Rollin(g) Stones which caused Ron to Reply - I want to introduce to you The Guitar Great Bo Diddley of (pregnant pause) Bo Diddley ! After the laughter they both played an infectious set of fun music ! Not Perfect but beating Bo Diddley style all nite ! Nice fun for all there ! Rest In Peace Bo D (PS) as I write this on 8/16 note that The King Of Rock died on 8/16/1977 which equals 2001 (Rest In Peace Elvis 'Sgt' Presley) Moose
