    Wow.

    RIP Mr. Beard.

    Was really sad to hear this earlier this week.

    I got a bad feeling a few weeks ago when the news came out that Frank was backing out of all upcoming shows.

    A lot of these guys essentially play till nature forces the issue.

    One of my all time favorite bands, and I’m just happy I got to see Frank play his drums live at least once.

    RIP Frank.

    Sad to hear the news. The only ZZ Top I own are the first 6 albums after that they lost me. I decided to order the Tres Hombres SACD from Elusive Disc read great reviews on it, second best Rio Grande Mud is my favorite, just hoping the Tres Hombres SACD is as good as the reviews are.

    On my short list.
    Would love to hear your thoughts after a good session.
