Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top) is rockin’ 71 today!

Billy Gibbons is ranked #32 on Rolling Stone’s list of “100 Greatest Guitarists Of All Time”. Jimi Hendrix once said that Gibbons is “One of America’s great young guitarists”. As a member of ZZ Top, he was inducted into the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame in 2004. May 15, 1997, was declared “ZZ Top Day” by then Gov. George W.
