You are "Brother Wally" the bass player that wore the big brimmed black hat and used to have a big moustache if my memory serves me well. I remember you from a show I taped that was on the A&E channel which was a concert that Bo did in Sweden, I believe it was. Lady Bo played on it and the drummer was "Brother Rick. You're a great bass player and that's a great show. I think you were playing a Kubicki bass on that show. That TV program also had some interview clips with Bo. I've been meaning to burn that tape to DVD. I'll have to hunt it up. I'll never forget the part where towards the end of the show, Bo climbed up on the drum riser and switched with Rick on drums and played for awhile then they switched back...never missing a beat between the two of them.
Great stuff. Hope you and Lady Bo are well.
Peace )-(

Here are two clips from that show:



Rest In Peace, Mr. Diddley.

RIP Bo.

I heard a news snippet last night about the Nike Bo Jackson ads from the 80's where Bo D. says "Bo... you don't know diddley!". They said it was one of the top rated ads of the entire decade. I remember it well.

Along with the A & E concert, originally recorded for Swedish TV my wife and I had the opportunity to participate in the Nike promotional event in Portland for the "Bo Knows" commercial. So many great memories of a great man!
