I noticed a comment recently that mentioned the great Bugs Henderson.\u00a0 Once I saw that comment, I realized I hadn’t featured him in the blog yet, and that’s just plain wrong.\u00a0 So here’s my small ode to the blues\/rock\/jazz guitarist, Bugs Henderson.\u00a0 He would tell you himself that he isn’t a blues “traditionalist,” but that’s something that I can definitely relate to.\u00a0 I collected a few videos that celebrate the life and music of Bugs Henderson, including a video conversation with him about the blues.\u00a0 Unfortunately, he passed earlier this year due to liver cancer, but his music still lives on in all of our hearts.\u00a0 I hope you enjoy the performances and interview with Bugs Henderson.<\/p>\n

Let’s start out with Bugs in his element.\u00a0 Here’s footage from a show in 2008 in Austin, Tx with his trio.\u00a0 Check it out at https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kd7XjxV8SYA<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Next, Bugs sat down for an interview with Dangerous Guitar to talk about the blues.\u00a0 He lets it all out in this short talk and focuses on how to be a guitarist of quality in any style of music.\u00a0 Check it out at https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=iwCmhKrT7Dc<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Lastly, Stedan Kodde put together a series of 15 performances in a YouTube video that celebrates the music of Bugs Henderson.\u00a0 It’s a great video that features some of Bugs earlier work.\u00a0 Check it out at https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=YjEeXhIHiqY<\/a>.<\/p>\n
