You might be curious how we chose the name of Diddy Wah Daddies. It was based on Blues legend Willie Dixon who was born in Vicksburg in 1915, and is honored on one of the city’s Riverfront Murals, as well as on a Mississippi Blues Trail marker downtown on “Willie Dixon Way”. He wrote over 500 songs, including “Diddy Wah Diddy,” which he co-wrote with Bo Diddley (born in McComb). We decided to call ourselves the “Diddy Wah Daddies” as a tribute to Dixon and our hometown. Naming a group is hard, and we thought this was a pretty solid choice.
