#JukeboxFridayNight #ThisPartInParticular

From 1957, #BuddyHolly (guitar, vocal) and #JerryAllison (drums) lay down the demo-iest of demos (Buddy's vocals aren't even miked) of #BoDiddley's "Mona". It's deceptively simple until that first guitar solo (1:12), when Buddy turns Bo's original lick into Pete Townshend from ten years in the future.

They never did a proper recording of this one. Damn shame.
