Rock on!!

We have been listening to the ZZ Top band on CD this week and it reminded me of when we went to the Planet Rock 'Rhodes Rock' festival in Greece a few years ago.   It was two weeks of live tribute bands - all stonkingly good - Led Zeppelin, ACDC, Pink Floyd, Jimi Hendrix and ZZ Top to name a few. 

We got the chance to meet the band members in after show parties around the island - it was great.     Weird talking to someone who looked and sounded exactly like Hendrix! 
I was particularly impressed with ZZ Tops - a fabulous tribute band from Devon.   The band members were really sweet and had very real looking long beards!!.    ZZ Tops website

The real ZZ Top

The ZZ Tops - tribute band from Devon

The following March, we got the chance to see some of them again at Great Yarmouth in a Legends of Rock weekend.    Ok the venue was not so good but the music was fabulous!    

On the Saturday night, we had just seen the ZZ Tops (tribute band with amazing beards!) and Jeff had gone to the to the loo.     I was sitting watching the crowd and who should I see walking towards the bar and right past where I was sitting but the two men in beards!!    Wow!   
I jumped up and hugged them both (thinking they might remember me from Rhodes Rock). 
I gushed " you guys were fabulous!"  and "well done".
Kisses all round!  Yeah.

They looked bemused and did not say much - grinned a bit.
Then Jeff came back and said "...you know these two guys you were hugging, they were just a couple of fans in fancy dress beards"

What!
