    Default RIP Dusty

    Sad news, lost another great rocker/blues man. I was able to see ZZ Top a few times in concert, Dusty was an amazing bass player and singer as well. zz-top.jpg

    I just hit this topic down in What are You Listening to?

    ZZ top was a big part of the soundtrack of my youth... saw them live more than once back in the '80s...

    Never saw them. Not sure how many "Eliminator" cassettes I burned through in the truck. Drove the ex nuts.

    Another one down from my younger days

    There's a great documentary on Netflix, ZZ Top: That Little Ol' Band from Texas.


    Well worth the time.
