Does he still own & perform at his own club in FL? Bad wig & all?

Get well, soon!

This is my tribute to ZZ Top and Dusty Hill, although not his model hat. A beaver felt, a dye job gone horribly wrong it just cried out for a ZZ Top tribute.

I added an extension to my block to get the 7" open. Added the brim binding and the tension gave it the curl....enough room for me to add a bandana underneath

. Next felt mistake I will replicate Dusty's hat from the 2013 Live at Montreux concert.

Im not sure.... but I saw him at a little club in Memphis a few years ago. He put on a wonderful show.

I don't think he travels much anymore. He books out dates in his club to other performers (like the theater owners in Branson, MO do) then he performs & fills the dates out he can't sell. Smart!

I can't remember what it's over but he's involved in some long running legal battle too, unless that's been settled finally.

In 2008 he was arrested at a casino in Iowa.

He was involved in a car crash in 2013.

And then in 2016 IRS trouble....

This one he wrote sums it up...

That's the case I'm thinking of. This one has the security video from the casino.

Banjo and fiddle are plugged in. Guess that resonator didn’t need it.

The final member of the Maddox Brothers and Rose has passed. Rest in peace Don Maddox.

Been on a Hank Jr. kick lately, got my pandora set to artist only. Looking at all the album covers I think Ol' Bocephus has worn many cool hats through the years.

It looks like his head may be stuck in that position.

Yes he has, and as you said he managed to make some pretty fine music over the years, too. Being raised with the country music of the mid-60s through early 80s, I'm a big fan of "outlaw country" and honky-tonk. Hank Jr. did both really well, when he wanted to.

I was gonna say he’s taking his ‘good side’ to a whole nother level.
