he was the bottom of "The Top"

 

might be the first time ever that a bass player of a rock and roll band made the front page of the Wall Street Journal, sadly upon his demise

In the summer of 1975 when I first started playing bass, I bought two records: "Toys In The Attic" by Aerosmith and "Fandango" by ZZ Top. I pretty much wore that vinyl out trying to figure out what Tom Hamilton and Dusty Hill were doing.

 

Those albums were my musical Rosetta Stone. So I was stunned at the news of Dusty's passing last week. Rarely name-checked as one of the great bass players, but truly one of the greats. Adios, amigo. Vaya con Dios.

Another sad loss... And also noteworthy, their tech Elwood Francis, who has been working with them for years, is Dusty's replacement on bass duties, as Dusty himself wanted. I remember seeing him on a Rig Rundown video, explaining ZZ Top's bass and guitar setup with such detail and RESPECT for the guys and their work (Elwood himself coming from a somewhat different musical background, which to me makes extra points), and was delighted, now reading that he is filling for Dusty makes me feel a little bit better, is a well deserved position, honoring Dusty and keeping ZZ Top's flame alive...
