He was wearing cheap sunglasses and looked pretty sharp. He was promoting the Blues Museum (can you say King Biscuit Flour Hour?). He had the fuzzy white axes from the video on display plus other guitars and one of his hot rods (Deuce Coupe, I believe). The only problem was the crowd around him was 8 deep so I did not get an autograph. The guy in the middle of the photo above is Dave Hussong of Fretware Guitars. RIP. Dave wrote for Guitar Player magazine and had a weekly blues radio show on WYSO, Yellow Springs, OH. All three of those hoodlums can be seen below in this much earlier photo taken in the aftermath of a concert in Dayton, OH. No worries, the statute of limitations has already run out.
ZZ top was one of my all time favorite as well. Saw them at the University of Houston in 1973.
