Bo Diddley's Have Guitar, Will Travel

Video Tour: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zfBaBjWfKDI

Description: Bo Diddley leans into the future on the cover of 1960’s *Have Guitar, Will Travel*, his homemade rectangular guitar slung low as if it were a piece of Brooklyn street hardware. Shot outside 368 Livingston Street, the scene catches him mid-stride on a then-gritty commercial block, turning an ordinary sidewalk into a launching pad for amplified rhythm and swagger. Standing here today, it’s easy to imagine his staccato riffs bouncing off the storefront glass, announcing that rock and roll had officially arrived in the borough. This is one of the Brooklyn stops in the MusicRoadTrip.com App.
