Several years ago Houstonia magazine, producer Robb Walsh made it a little clear how Houstonians fell for the "crawfish". It 
went this way.
"Cajun crawfish didn’t take off in the Bayou City until 1976, but Houstonians’ appetite for crawfish has exploded since then," Walsh said in his piece.
This weekend in Conroe the locals will celebrate this Creole/Cajun delicacy. Rails & Tails Mudbug Festival is a day - long celebration of the tasty crawfish through Cajun cookin’, lively music and non-stop fun. Scheduled to perform are Bayou Roux, The Posse, The Powell Brothers, and more. Street vendors and a Kids Zone, too."
"The Vietnamese crawfish craze, which took hold in Houston around 2001, has recently started to dominate the conversation. In fact, many younger locals have little memory of eating Cajun-style crawfish. But if the names of such Southeast Asian eateries as Cajun Corner and Crawfish and Beignets aren’t enough to remind you where the mudbug culture started, then maybe a tour of the area’s Cajun crawfish joints (see opposite page) will set you straight."

With a career spanning over four decades, Graham Russell and Russell Hitchcock met on May 12, 1975, at rehearsals for “Jesus Christ Superstar” in Sydney, Australia. They became instant friends with their common love for The Beatles and, of course, singing. Since then, the duo continues to perform worldwide, with over 130 concerts annually, and just marked their 5,000th concert in Las Vegas.
In 1980, “Lost in Love” became the fastest-selling single in the world, leaping to the top of all of the charts, and was named Song of the Year. Seven top-five singles later, Air Supply at that time had equaled The Beatles’ run of consecutive top-five singles. The albums “Lost in Love,” “The One That You Love,” “Now & Forever” and “The Greatest Hits” sold in excess of 20 million copies.
The trademark sound of Russell Hitchcock’s soaring tenor voice and Graham Russell’s simple yet majestic songs created a unique sound that would forever be known as Air Supply.
