"Bo Diddley's recent three-day stint at the B.B King's Blues Club in NYC includes
a
special visit from the one and only Robert Plant."
Robert went to see Bo during the time he was here in town to perform
@ Roseland.
I saw Robert Plant June 1st @ Roseland in NYC for his rare area
appearance.
Needless to say it was a religious experience to the 10th degree.
More on this later...
