Duck calls or ZZ Top?

and from ages ago.

I could live with all that fur tickling my chest all the time...

the real reason for the endless beard!

it has to serve some practical purpose, now, doesn't it?

One of their guys with the long beards comes out on a local liquor store commercial. Also the long bearded ZZ Top guys have red hair and my son was friends with one of their cousins and he has red hair too.

But, I think they're from Houston, but they're pretty much considered local cuz they used to perform around here a lot.

but not being quite so familiar with them myself, I was operating based on bears alone.
