RIP, Dusty. The "bottom of the rhythm section of the top"

For practice tonight, I'll go downstairs and play; Waitin for the bus, Jesus just left Chicago, Beer drinkers & hell raisers, Master of sparks, LaGrange, heard it on the X and Tush. All off the same disc two CD from their "six pack" release.
Awesome band. He will be missed.

One of the ladyfriend and I's early dates was a ZZ Top concert.
Her dancing in the isle suggested it was a good choice.

Music sure can bring you back in time, especially to your teens when music was having so much influence on your life.

Next time I saw them was with Aerosmith in Pittsburgh in 1976
Last time I saw them was with the Rolling Stones in Dallas in 1981

My buddies posted that and I could not believe it. Guess I'll just go downtown and look for some tush.

I saw ZZ Top get booed off the stage in St. Louis. They backed up the Doobies on a week night. The equipment truck broke down and the concert was over an hour late getting started. The boppers at the show wanted to see the Doobies and it was getting late. When ZZ Top came out they were booed off. I came for ZZ so was bummed. Saw them a couple weeks later at a better venue plus two more times after that. Gary

Guess Elvis has a new bass player. Dusty was a big fan. And damn, I feel officially old today.

Well I will say this. When I saw them open up for the Rolling Stones at the Cotton Bowl in 1981, they finished their set, put their guitars down and walked off the stage. BUT the music kept playing, Hmmmm....
Later partied with one of Frank Beard's ex-girlfriends in Dallas and told her about that. She said everything was synced with them.
