Dusty Hill, bassist for Z.Z.Top dead at 72

years ago I knew I had a couple of health problems that would probably stop me from doing what I wanted to do a few years down the road. So I decided to empty my bucket list now while I could. That was when I went on my first Cape Buffalo hunt in 2018. Then Colleen did her Cape Buffalo hunt in 2019. Covid stopped things in 2020 but this year, 2021, I went back to Africa and took a larger Cape Buffalo and now, good Lord willing I will go back to Africa with 4 good friends this September for an African lion.
What all this leads up to is what Jim said. If you want to do something and can afford it, do it now while you can still do it. Don't put it off. I am sure Dusty Hill of ZZ Top had some plans for this fall but never expected to not be around to do them.
Don't put off whatever you have always wanted to do saying you will do it tomorrow or next week. None of us are promised tomorrow. None of us are promised this afternoon or tonight. You only have one life to live. Don't waste it planning on tomorrow.

when they were first starting out. I think they had one record out called Tush which was doing fairly well. At the radio station across from Ft. Campbell we worked a lot of rock concerts back then, mostly in Clarksville Tennessee but some were in Hopkinsville Kentucky. The radio station sat across from Ft. Campbell and straddled the state lines. Front door was in Kentucky, back door was in Tennessee. Anyway if memory serves they were at this concert and that is where I met them.They were unknowns at that time so I am not sure.
Somewhere along the line I met back up with Frank Beard of ZZ Top.
Frank, the drummer, has been a good friend for several years. We built 9 guns for him thru the years.
