One of the pioneers of rock and roll is better but still not well. I bought his 45's when they were new. First time I spun one of his tunes on my box record player, it knocked me out, considering the Patti Page and 4 Freshman tunes my Mom played up at home up till then. More Here:

Whats a 45?

I saw Diddley last year at the Aladdin Theatre and he was great,although you could tell he was getting a bit long in the tooth.

gvbest -

A 45 is what you kids call 7" - the small vinyl records with the big hole.

I'm just playing, I think I saw some of those in my grandma's basement when I was just a young boy

I figured you were, gvbest, but you never know. Those old records in your Grandma's basement might be worth something today. And yea, I'm a codge but it's better than the alternative...........
