Music, words it's all magic and poetry to me. Remember, yesterday's magic is today's reality. The CD was recorded at Coney Island studio in Madison and features a mix of originals and remakes of more traditional blues songs. But they are electric now. In addition to being a musician, Catfish is the proud father of three, and is also a hunter, a fisherman, a leather crafter skilled at making everything from holsters to chaps, a jewelry maker and a sharpshooter.
Target practice is a weekly tradition.
Catfish claims to be able to split a playing card that stands edgewise in half by shooting a pistol at it. And shooting goes hand in hand with the image associated with wearing a cowboy hat. That western spirit, combined with weathered facial features, not only gives Catfish character, but has made him marketable in movies. Catfish says the warrior role especially interested him because it was the warrior's job to scold people who chose the wrong path in life. Catfish admits to having taken a few unpleasant detours in his life, including bouts of excessive drinking.
