DUSTY HILL RIP.
Very sad to hear of the passing of Dusty Hill, ZZ TOP's bass guitarist. He was just one year younger than me.
I've long had a soft spot for ZZ Top, despite never owning any of their albums. Nevertheless I've greatly respected their musicianship and unique sound and style.
My deepest sympathies to Dusty's family and to Billy Gibbons and Frank Beard, all of whom must be feeling the loss profoundly.

Living in Houston in the 1980s, I was just a mile away from a Tex-Mex place called Leo’s (closed Tuesdays). In there early days, ZZ Top would eat there often, as it was cheap eats. The restaurant had a ZZ Top room, which had loads of photos of the band, early albums & singles, as well as other memorabilia. Most of the waiters were bikers.
