I can still remember dancing in my room to the songs Legs and Give Me All Your Loving by ZZ Top. When I was offered the opportunity to ask Billy Gibbons a few questions, I jumped on the opportunity. Here is a sneak peek:
Rebecca: How did the band originally get together?
Billy: The Moving Sidewalks were up and running while Dusty and Frank were playing in a band together called American Blues. The Sidewalks detoured in 1969 thanks to the keyboardist and bassist taking on military service leaving the band looking for solid a rhythm section. Frank and I found each other and things took off like a rocket when he suggested we enlist his former band mate, Dusty Hill, to play bass. We got together to see what might shake and immediately knew it was the right combination — we just locked in and took it from there. The first real gig: the Knights of Columbus Hall in Beaumont, Texas, marking February 10, 1970 as that initial moment. The rest, as they say, is history or, shall we say, hysterical.
