ton to make an appearance at his
house?
A lot OF you people who went 10
the dance, said you didn't exactly
go for IT, Maybe it's because he
didn't play all the sounds he is
noted for. Such as Soft, Jute and
Later, instead he played the
sounds that are more up TO date
in the blues field, and II didn't ex-
. actly sound like Bradshaw com
ing through. But he stin whipped
up a pretty good showing, and J
dance was not exactly what one
is used TO when he digs LIT They
had tables set up all around, and
they were selling all kinds OF food
but all in all the Shriners did put
