Since the Saturday night Hootenanny has been well received I thought I would try a little variation for the middle of the week.
Welcome to the Midnight Special, may it shine its light on you. We will be featuring one artist for the evening, Taking a look at some hits, some deep tracks and maybe a silly song or two. I hope you find it enjoyable.
The kick off artist of the week is…
ZZ Top
If you have any requests for future artists or groups we do have a submission link somewhere on the page where you are free to suggest away.
Now, on to the show.
And ZZ Top has left the building. See y’all next week. Same bat time, same bat channel.
Over –
Freaking – Whelmed!
But in a good way.
I never would have guessed that tracks existed of them from 71.
Me neither.
from 1969/1970

Wait . . .
You must’ve meant to call this the “Midweek Special,” but lost your train of thought . . .
Fortunately, I’m a sharp-dressed man.
As long as there is ZZ Top, there will always be America.
We wore out that Fandango record.
How the Hell could you leave out “Legs!”
I tried to get one song from each album (fail) and I already did two from Eliminator.
My muddy water just turned to wine.
Excellent jams! NOW, for the bonus question of the day: What’s the name of the one ZZ Top guy WITHOUT a beard?
That’s the irony of the band’s members
Frank
Not the one whose amazing novels are available at fine bookstores everywhere.
There is a song “Midnight Special” I can never hear again. It was playing in the opening scene of The Twilight Zone movie, “Something Scary”. It was scary alright. I was just a kid. The Twilight Zone was a spooky tv show. I was not expecting a horror movie.
I vaguely, vaguely remember that, and associate “Midnight Special” with horror. I wonder if that’s where Quentin Tarantino got the idea of matching unconventional music with queasy visuals.
Plus, I’ll never watch The Exorcist ever again. Once was enough to scar me. Even though I know it’s only a movie.
