I once was honored to get a couple of hours with him at his house on the South Side of Chicago, back in '70 I think it was. We talked guitars and he played a few songs--he had a couple of amps set up in a remodeled rec room in his basement. A soft-spoken and gentlemanly fellow, at least on that day! Rest in Peace, Bo.

I can't think of anyone who had more influence over rock and roll. As much, maybe....but more? No.

The passing of a Great One.

Well done, Bo.

Sage advice from Bo
Don't let your mouth write a check that your tail can't cash.
He will be missed.
Life, as with music, often requires one to let go of the melody and listen to the rhythm
