FRANK BEARD ZZ TOP

LAMONT’S MUSIC NOTES-JUNE 11, 2019…FRANK BEARD IS CELEBRATING HIS 70TH BIRTHDAY TODAY !! IRONICALLY, UP UNTIL 2013 BEARD WAS THE ONLY MEMBER OF THE GROUP NOT TO HAVE A BEARD. HE FINALLY GAVE INTO PRESSURE AND GREW A SMALL ONE. THE BAND CALLS IT THE “ZZ TOP GOATEE”.

A LITTLE FRANK BEARD TRIVIA. HE WAS ONCE FIRED FROM THE BAND BY THE BAND’S MANAGER BILL HAM FOR OVERINDULGING AT A CONCERT. ACCORDING TO BEARD:

“WHEN THAT HAPPENED DUSTY QUIT BECAUSE HE FIRED ME ! HAM CHANGED HIS MIND.”

HAPPY 70TH BIRTHDAY FRANK BEARD.

HERE’S A GREAT LIVE VERSION OF ‘WAITIN’ FOR THE BUS/JESUS JUST LEFT CHICAGO’

THIS GUY IS A GREAT DRUMMER. LISTEN TO HIM POUND THE SKINS ON THIS LIVE VERSION OF ‘LA GRANGE’
