Another forgotten "Reeder" custom
This was more subdued compared to some. But it was commissioned by ZZ Top drummer Frank Beard. Beard was a founding member and the last to grow a righteous beard, even given his namesake! Of late he had a foot/ankle injury and had to lay off a while, but he had re-joined. They are still touring after bassist Dusty Hill passed away. That was what he wanted them to do.
There was once a rumor he (Frank Beard) might come to a HHC. But so far he was unable to get the scheduling sorted.
This custom for the famous musician, and Gary's link to the radio/music industry in the past, are very interesting.
