1. Great Story On This Tune

In the biopic "That Li'l Ol' Band From Texas" the producer relates how they got the vocal right.
Billy wasn't happy with how he was singing it, so he said to give him 5 or 10 minutes.
He pulled off his sweater, and left the building.
He ran around the block until he was so winded he was hoarse.
Came back into the studio & sang the part. Everyone agreed it sounded cooler that way.
If you haven't seen that movie, I highly recommend it.

2. That is a great story! And a smart technique!

I had not seen the biopic, was thinking I'd have to watch it on Netflix the next time I get that (which I do only occasionally because months were going by when I wasn't watching it when I kept it regularly), but I just discovered I can get it on a channel on Roku, Creative Veinz, which I just added to my Roku device: https://www.roku.com/whats-on/movies/zz-top-that-little-ol-band-from-texas?id=8a9eb1298f805b6daf787330753dbcae

Going to watch it now. Thanks!
