guitarz.blogspot.com OK the Dead Weather play some cool instruments, but this is where they come from! This is Bo Diddley in the mid-60s playing - together with Norma-Jean Wofford aka the Duchess , one of the first female guitarist in a rock band - his famous and beautiful Jupiter Thunderbird .

(PhysOrg.com) -- Does Bo Diddley rule the world? Though he died last year, the iconic singer and guitarist of American blues and rock still rules the rhythms of the world, says computer scientist Godfried Toussaint.
