    Another great Texas musician is gone. Wow, I remember seeing them play for a cover charge back in the day. RIP Dusty. That rhythm section has to be pretty solid out there, wherever it is we go when we leave this world. Great tribute Matt! The Firebird is my favorite guitar of all time.

      You can get good copies from different manufacturers. ESP LTD have one called the Phoenix which is red and has active pickups. It's about 2000 Australian dollars, as opposed to a Gibson Firebird which is about 4000 Australian dollars.

      Not to be a know-it-all in the slightest, but Firebird pickups aren’t mini humbuckers! They’re actually a unique rail style pickup more similar to a P-90.
      Regardless, they sound completely their own, and very cool 😎

Anyway, kinda floored me that at the end you dedicated this to dusty. “Anyway you want it baby, I am your burger man.”
    Thanks for putting this elegy together Matt. You get it more than any one I know, the intersection of the music, the guitar and the musician. Your other homage pieces are equally as awesome. You show so much respect for those that came before. That’s pretty special in this world.

    I was able to see ZZ Top three times live. The first time was with Joe Perry project opening up for ZZ Top. I was 16 years old at the Springfield Civic Center in Springfield Massachusetts. I knew who Joe Perry was from Aerosmith but I didn’t know much about ZZ Top at all. ZZ Top came out and played an amazing show. The set list was from there early days before MTV. Such an unbelievable three-piece band. It’s impossible to explain all the details but from the lights, sound, choreography and there music these guys were at a different level then I had have ever seen or heard before. I became a life Long fan from that point on and have Been inspired by Billy F. Gibbons to learn and play the guitar and cover their music in my own Little O Bands over the years.
