Description
Last month Bo Diddley moved on to that great gig in the sky. A rock and roll creator from his start in Chicago on Checker Records, Bo carved out his own beat that would make the boys and girls crazy at the sock hops.
Bo’s beat was dirty. It resonated from the Stones version of Not Fade Away, Who - Magic Bus, Strangeloves – I Want Candy, Springsteen – She’s the One, to today KT Tunstell – Big Black Horse and the Cherry Tree and many more, not to mention the covers of Bo’s own tunes by the Yardbirds, Dead, Thorogood, etc.
I wrote this tune as a tip of the hat to Bo a few years back and got to finishing it.
Edgewood Point is the place in Everytown, USA where a boy takes his girl in his Daddy’s car to look up at the stars and steal away a first kisses.
JL: Words, music, acoustic and electric guitars, bass, organ, drum programming, percussion, production and mix.
Horns: The Fabulous Rigatoni Boys

Lyrics
Edgewood Point by BossHook
In the midnight hour of the desolate sun
I’m the fortune seeker of the dangerous fun
On the edge of nowhere, at the brink of bliss
I’ll be waiting baby, for your tender kiss
The moon is high and the lights are low
Where the desperate try just to make it so
I will meet you there we can take it slow
Where the lovers dare I know you want to go
To Edgewood Point
Out to Edgewood Point
Where all the deals go down
And the lovers dance in this sleepy town
In the twilight shadows of the weekend plans
I’m the fortune seeker in the marching band
By the banks of the beat down trails in the park
I’ll be waiting baby for your signal in the dark
The moon is high the lights are low
Where the desperate try just to make it so
I will meet you there we can take it slow
Where the lovers dare I know you want to go
To Edgewood Point
Out to Edgewood Point
Where all the deals go down
And the lovers dance in this sleepy town
Hey Bo Diddley, thank you for your rhythm
The boys and girls go crazy when they hear that Diddley beat
In the midnight hour of the desolate sun
I’m the fortune seeker of the dangerous fun
On the edge of nowhere, at the brink of bliss
I’ll be waiting baby, for your tender kiss
The moon is high and the lights are low
Where the desperate try just to make it so
I will meet you there we can take it slow
Where the lovers dare I know you want to go
To Edgewood Point
Out to Edgewood Point
Where all the deals go down
And the lovers dance in this sleepy town
In the twilight shadows of the weekend plans
I’m the fortune seeker in the marching band
By the banks of the beat down trails in the park
I’ll be waiting baby for your signal in the dark
The moon is high the lights are low
Where the desperate try just to make it so
I will meet you there we can take it slow
Where the lovers dare I know you want to go
To Edgewood Point
Out to Edgewood Point
Where all the deals go down
And the lovers dance in this sleepy town
Hey Bo Diddley, thank you for your rhythm
The boys and girls go crazy when they hear that Diddley beat
