Frank Beard, the drummer with ZZ Top was in the house at Sound Works August 26 from 10pm – 12 midnight. Using digital patch we did a  live nationally syndicated radio show called Rockline, with host Bob Coburn.  Digital Patch technology allows for a live stereo – CD quality connection between two points. Sound Works uses this technology to connect with a network of production studios worldwide several times a week.  Digital patch  allowed Rockline to have Frank Beard live. This cool technology can also be used to extend live recording sessions to other cities!

Last night Billy Gibbons was in LA and Frank Beard in Houston connected via digital patch.  The show Rockline interviews the artists, promotes their tour and plays their music!  During the live show fans are encouraged to call in and ask questions …  I think the funniest question for ZZ Top was “What is your favorite food while on the road?”  Billy answered TV dinners!

If you didn’t hear it – ZZ Top will be streamed for two weeks on Rockline beginning the afternoon following the broadcast. The show featured information about ZZ Top’s new concert tour. The session was engineered by Danny Reeves and Karen Cook took photos.
