* Note that the playback function may entail lengthy delays where the writer cogitated. We do try to jump to the point at which composing began, but there is the occasional writer who types a letter and then stops for five minutes. Hang in there.

We asked Thylias Moss to write on the following:
Mr. Diddley said he had first heard the "Bo Diddley beat" —
three-stroke/rest/two-stroke, or bomp-ba-domp-ba-domp, ba-domp-domp — in a church in Chicago. But variations of it were in the air. The children's game hambone used a similar rhythm, and so did the ditty that goes "shave and a haircut, two bits."
