ZZ and me...

[Steelharp]

Me and Billy... oh, yeah...

[Shug]

That's cool man

[Steelharp]

The coolest part is, we were doing La Grange, and he gave me two solos... and after we were done, he asked for my business card. He said he's never had a steel before, and he wants to discuss me doing some things with them tomorrow!!

[hipower]

That's Great!! I sincerely hope it works out for you.

[Murgatroy]

That is awesome.

 

I have always been a HUGE ZZ Top fan.

[Dolomite`s Breezy]

Oh wow.. that's fantastic.

 

Congratulations

[daddyo]

Awesome!  :up:

[Guest Lowbuster]

ZZ top rules. When I was a teen I snuck to DC to see them. 87 or 88 or so. Can't remember

[Trekbike]

As others have said, that's awesome! I hope things work out and you'll get to play with them regularly. That would be quite the opportunity.

[TripleDigitRide]

If you need someone to carry your equipment, or wipe the sweat from your brow, or follow behind you and pick up your droppings, I'm your man. Man! That would so rock! I know you've worked with some fairly big names in the past, but this is awesome. Congratulations!

So awesome! I love ZZ Top, I have a lot of their stuff on my iphone.

A friend of mine met Billy at an airport counter many years ago.  ZZ was in town and he was shipping a couple cases of local beer back to himself.  My friend was in line behind him shipping a car part to Detroit and had no idea the short scruffy looking guy in from of him was Billy Gibbons.  At one point, the box (about 5 ft long and 8" square) slipped in my friend's hands and it hit Billy in the back.  When my friend got to the clerk, she was completely flustered, giddy, and just staring that the two tickets and backstage passes he'd put on the counter.  :stunned:

 

My friend was hence forth known as the guy who bonked Billy Gibbons in the back of the head with a steering gear.  :rofl:

[Fourtyfive]

Cool , let us know what happens.

[R1100R]

That is too unreal.  I hope he calls you.

[DaveS]

Way too AWESOME!!!

Don't forget us little people when you are famous.

[Caster]

Every girl crazy 'bout a sharp dressed …….GET OFF MY LAWN!!!

 

 

 

Thats awesome man.  Too cool.

[Steelharp]

Don't forget us little people when you are famous.

Trust me; everyone has to pull down their pants to  :poop: . Fame means nothing.

[KahrMan]

Thats really cool Michael.  Hope you get the gig!

[TrickyNicky]

Trust me; everyone has to pull down their pants to  :poop: . Fame means nothing.

Yeah but fame has some convinced that this isn't so. You can usually see those guys coming by watching out for the swarm of flys hovering around. The more "hangers on", the more likely that the celeb in question has recently crapped their britches and no one has the gumption to lean over and whisper "hey! You crapped yourself again".

Then there are mega celebs like what's her face Cyrus, I do believe that if someone were to sell her crapped up britches they'd collect a premium.

Most I've met have been down to earth kind of folks. Mostly you didn't know they were famous until later.

[sigmtnman]

That's very cool.  Congrats.

[daddyo]

I got to see them when they looked like this:

By the way, congrats on getting 2 solos with Billy F Gibons! I've heard he is an all around cool guy if not a little nutty, and really still loves jamming out. Guess he liked what he heard! Hope it leads to more.

[musicman]

I'm late to the party, but CONGRATS!!! I hope he calls you soon... and for real!

 

My buddy Todd at Corner Music got to hang out with him a bit, and Billy took his number.  A few days later, Todd was butt dialed by Billy Gibbons!  He says it sounded like he was driving some monster hot rod.  :-)
