Catfish Harry’s
favorite line of one of his old friend Carole’s songs has always been his companion:
“Music is playing inside my head, over and over again.
My friend there’s no end to the music.”
He came to New Orleans as a busker and studio musician,
but unfortunately the famous studio bosses
had moved to the West coast in the 70's,
he mainly recorded commercial jingles for local radio stations.
If it hadn’t been for the
communication problems and the climate,
he probably would have stayed in New Orleans forever.
He got so fed up with a diet of beans and rice,
he decided fried fish was for him and to this day it's still his favorite food,
that’s how he got his nick name.
Among his guitar heroes are
Eric Clapton, Albert Lee, Mark Knopfler, Bonnie Raitt.
His singing is influenced by
Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young, the Eagles and
John Fogerty.
