Posts made past 02:30PM 12/30/24 won't be on the new site!

We are in the final stages of resolving the issues with the forums move to the new location. After talking with tech support, the only solution was to send him a copy of all the images. This will take time - but we know the fix SO it's only a matter of time now.

Thanks again for your patience,

    Dusty Hill Will Rock On Forever

    ZZ Top, another old school Americana rock band.

    I always liked long since I was a teenager during the Woodstock years. Then corporate life made a mullet more acceptable.

    After 35 years abiding by corporate culture my retirement goal was to grow a ZZ Top style beard.

    I retired 12/2019 and my beard is 1/3 there.

    Let's hoist one in Dusty's honor at beer thirty.

    Ditto, my friend. Iron Butterfly "InaGadaDavida" in 1968 was an epiphany. When I brought that album home from the local record store and slapped it on the old Magnavox Stereophonic Portable Turntable system, thought my parent were gonna $#it a brick.

    While I've been fortunate to have seen almost all the great bands live, many multiple times, this one escaped me and I regret it more now than ever. Dusty Hill was the quintessential bottom line for a rock band. He will be missed greatly...

    Rock On, Dusty! Heaven has one helluva band...

      Your kidding, me too. About the same year I walked down to our local record store in Linda Mar and bought the exact same album. Went home and played it over and over on the old RCA Viking down in the basement. I just checked my vinyl collection and no longer have that one. However I still have the Viking record player.

        Was very fortunate to play and beat Mr. Hill in a pool tournament here in Houston back in the 80s. I didn't appreciate it at the time, as I was around 9 years old, but have been a big fan since. ZZ was my first concert. Memories are good.

            I wouldn't say I was a pool shark, but not bad for a kid. I had my 15 minutes of fame by beating Dusty with a lucky bank shot, and then finishing 3rd in that tournament. It was at a small bar that Mr. Hill frequented off Memorial Dr. Reminds me of "Cheers" now that I look back.
