I just got back to the Bo Diddley Beat, by convoluted ways, watching Lucille Ball, Ginger Rogers and Lucille's daughter dance the Charleston, and a trip to Wikipedia!
So.. what is your own take on the Bo Diddley Beat?
Extra: I saw Bo play the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston in 2001, small auditorium, adoring audience, a fun night!
your variation of the Bo Diddley Beat?

The other farm cats didn’t super love him but the chickens thought he was alright so he became a chicken.

early Stones covers or hand jive mimicking by ear a long time ago brought this beat to my strum. I had no idea it was bo diddley's at that time.

Hmm, a dude on YT says that one of the often-overlooked ingredients in the Bo Diddley wall of sound is tremolo - gonna try various levels and see.
After some work, I found a delay-reverb combo level that I like, off a modest Cube 30 and Flashback, so I may add more sauce.
