I'm guessing this is correct. Heard on radio the other day that they've decided to continue touring with the tech as Dusty would've wanted it that way.
The day the music died.

Sad days, for us 22 Top (as one early dj called them) fans.
We can take some consolation and distraction from the interesting sources recently posted here.
If you like classic blues, try XRDS 88.1 fm XRDS fm out of Clarksdale Mississippi. Next to nothing for ads, and other than music, they have an occasional "Mississippi Moment" - a brief history or anecdote concerning a classic artist.
The vintage and program quality of xrds reminds me of the jazz show Jeff Healey used to do out of Toronto..... I'm hoping that programming is also still out there too.....

Another great artist who left us too soon.
Not a musician, yet a star and bit of an icon... Jim Morrison's widow died yesterday. Patricia Kennealy-Morrison, Jim Morrison's ex and famed rock reporter, dead at 75
Too true. ( "I thought you'd be bigger". "Not bad for a blind white-boy". I can see them both, smiling and laughing....).
I heard of him first, from an older friend who was very into guitar.... he saw him at the old Barrymore's (old vintage theatre, with a very steep wall of seats, and great acoustics) in Ottawa just before he broke out. Said he really lifted the roof off that place that night....
Like some other famous artists who are known best in other genres, Jeff was a big jazz fan, had an extensive personal collection, and was quite knowledgeable of early jazz history. I really should try and track down his series of jazz shows....

Just so Y'all know, it is pronounced ZEE ZEE Top. Long E.... that is all.Or, as I've often heard it, Zed Zed Top
I still call them that.
No disrespect (to a great band) intended..... us Canooks talk funny, but many of us are bilingual..... we speak 'Murican too !
IIRC, all those years ago it was an American dj that thought the graphic was 22.....
Right up there with the music wizard years ago that told the Stones to lose the singer with the big lips.....
