Live Review   Bugs Henderson

             The legendary Bugs Henderson played in a road house off Henderson called J&J 'S . The show  was more along
the lines of  some of the of the old time great music get togethers  like the "Texas Jams " and the "Spring Creek Fests"  and the "Grapevine Lake Summer Jams "
but I am not sure that the Grapevine James were an  organized  event or more of a happening?  And that is what might have happened the other night when Bugs  played at the Road House.  He and the band were wailing away putting on one hell of a show during the first set .
            Then a very large crowd of very young Blues fans flooded the bar.   From my table I could not see all of the bar well at all and even less of the stage as the band went on stage for the second set..  After a couple of songs , Bugs  told a joke about a  place in OK called the Pump House the crowd soon
joined in on the banter  and the second set turned into some really good stand up with an occasional musical interlude.  A true entertainer going  with the flow working the crowd and giving them what they wanted. It was exciting to watch a true master at work.
