Gussie moved Bo and her three other children to Chicago when Bo was about seven. The Baptist church Gussie took him to every Sunday provided Bo's first musical experience: The church musical director taught him violin and trombone. (Bo continued to study violin for twelve years. but eventually stopped because he saw no future for a black violinist.) But when the young Bo peeked through storefront windows at Pentecostal services. he saw a different kind of music-one that made folks jump around and shout. It opened his eyes to the raw power music could have over people. The teenage Elias McDaniel, nicknamed "Bo Diddley" by his school friends. heard John Lee Hooker on the radio doing "Boogie Chillun." and decided to learn to play guitar. His sister bought him a guitar and he "invented" an easy open tuning-the D or E tuning used by so many Mississippi Delta blues guitarists. By the early '40s. the young teen Bo was leading his own musical street corner groups (and doing some occasional amateur boxing). Bo quit school at the age of sixteen and held several jobs. but he continued to play on the streets. To get playing pointers he would hide behind the cigarette machine at the bar where Muddy Waters played and study the reigning king of the Chicago blues scene. By the end of the '40s. Chicago was the blues capital of the world. with Muddy Waters. Howlin' Wolf. Little Walter. and other now-legendary blues performers playing in the local clubs. Bo was married and working at a construction job. but his street group started getting occasional gigs in clubs. He was now working with musicians who would make the classic Bo Diddley records: guitarist Jody Williams. drummer Frank Kirkland. harp player Billy Boy Arnold. and Jerome Green on maracas.
