While I am still on videos, wake up time :-) The fourth of the challenge of 5 songs, one a day for 5 days, from my daughter Ivy Willmott . Second choice was the first LP I bought. How about the first 45 rpm single? The first music I noticed on radio was Peggy Seegers Raccoon and Possum song, Mary OHaras Quiet Land of Erin and this one. This is a live version performed 6 years later, definitely 1963, not 65 like the video says. Now I find it amazing. The man could barely play guitar, notice how his sister, The Duchess on guitar, holds it together,not a great singer, not a great looker ... yet I still find this exciting and magic :-). Notice the totally out of time white girls in movement and clapping. And what about the erotic dancing at the start of the second song, would that be approved of today? :-) Also, catch the last few seconds of the black teens totally tuned in to the arm roll dance later used by the Temptations. Last time I saw Bo Diddley live was at Daytona Big Week, 2001. He had certainly learned to sing and play guitar well by then :-) https://youtube/watch?v=yeZHB3ozglQ
