 So when I first met him, I was playing on the street, and the guy that played the bass tub, he said, hey, Ellis, there goes a Bo Diddley. It was a little short guy, extremely bow-legged, about four feet tall, and he was a comedian at the Indiana Theater on 43rd and Indiana. And I just laughed, and I couldn't stop laughing, because that was the funniest word I'd ever heard.
