Abstract: In this program, Mississippi Catfish, one of the last of the authentic rural blues players, recounts key episodes from his life. Archival photographs, combined with Catfish's anecdotes, provide a sense of Black life in rural Mississippi, especially during the 1920s and 30s, offering a cultural framework for the blues and an intimate portrait of a genuine blues musician.
