One of the members of just about the GREATEST 'lil 'ol boogie-band to come out of the great state of Texas, has left us this past week! Mr. Dusty Hill, bassist for Z Z Top, passed away suddenly, on Tuesday, July 27th.
If you dig on music nearly as much as the 'ol Loydster does, you've probably heard the somewhat shocking and sad news already. There's also DOZENS of obits and articles up about the guy, all over the web! From Rolling Stone, to the New York Times. So, I won't rehash or wear anybody out, that may be checking out this post, with (probably BETTER-written) facts that I cribbed from other sources!
Nope, what I'll do.... at THIS point in time anyway, is just say how REALLY sorry I am to hear about his passing. But--- also, how VERY happy he and those other two characters he played with-- for OVER 52 YEARS--- made me, over the years!---Especially during that ROUGH, lonely chunk of time I endured, serving in the Air Force! (I REALLY need to put up a post about these guys, in the not-too-distant future!)
My thoughts and Prayers go out to Billy Gibbons and Frank beard! They probably feel like they've lost a BROTHER, no doubt! Let's end this post on an appropriately HAPPY note, though! (Like Billy, Frank--- and of course, Dusty-- would want us to do!) With the KILLER-live-version of one of my ALL-TIME favorite remakes, of a certain Elvis tune! (Featuring Dusty on vocals, of COURSE!)----
