Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member and one of the founders of ZZ Top, Billy Gibbons is celebrating his 65th birthday today. We could go on about Billys work in ZZ Top, but we realize you know them very well. So, we will talk about his band before ZZT, The Moving Sidewalks. The Moving Sidewalks released one LP and spent some time as an opening act for Jimi Hendrix. Billy has said that Jimi taught him how to bend strings when he was about 17 years old. The Moving Sidewalks were a pre-cursor to the ZZT sound. Here is their version of The Beatles I Wanna Hold Your Hand Happy Birthday Billy!!! https://youtube/watch?v=87dHLPMF07g
