My dad used to play with those guys (ZZ Top) locally in Tx many many yrs before they hit it big. I didnt believe him as a kid until he showed me the pictures in the family's photo album. Just..wow..beyond words :) He wasnt a member of THEIR band, but rather opened for them I think in some nightclubs.

That's Great!

Don't know when they started. First I heard of them was in '76. 2 80000 people shows in the sugar bowl stadium and they had never had a top 40 song.....

got a "best of" on reel-to-reel
