Mule, Billy Gibbons, and Skyline Chili
Last Saturday we hung out with Billy Gibbons. Yes, from ZZ Top. They were playing in Saginaw on the other side of the parking garage from where Wynona Judd was also playing that night. Wynona's guitar player, Charlie, came to the shop before the show. Awesome player and even awesom-er guy. When I dropped him back off at their venue I saw ZZ's buses. I took a guitar and stood outside the bus. I posted a picture on Instagram. I stood outside for a half hour and left. A friend of mine, Shaun, saw the picture on Instagram and an hour later we were backstage, guitars in hand. An hour after that Billy was clearing a spot for us to sit in the bus. He played our guitars, "the richest and warmest sounding resonators I've ever heard," he showed me his Gibson Ultimate model, I played it. It's awesome. Then we shot the shit for three hours. We talked about Skyline Chili, his Cuban record, youtube videos, kombucha, Coca Cola, Naomi Judd. It was real talk, and one of my favorite stories of my life. He wanted to take pictures of US. We felt like friends within two minutes, and that's the reputation Billy has made for himself over his career. He's a good man, he always has time, real talk. It was awesome. When we left he gave us a bag of groceries, and when we were walking away he ran after us and gave us another for the road. I'm still buzzing. I'll post more pictures in the coming days.
