"Catspaw's Rag" by Rick Fielding

Hey.....I ain't kiddin'......LISTEN for yourself!!!

Ten years ago Rick was working on this little tune using another title. But then his friend (me) went into the hospital with an Aortic Dissection. It was a touch and go thing for about a week and Rick did what he often did......he turned to music to ease a troubled mind, in this case about a very ill friend. When I was recovering, Rick called the hospital and told me he had something special for me. He told me he had written a tune named for me and would put it on his upcoming album. I was a bit overwhelmed but he got us both laughing when he said that this way we'd both be immortal...........

Never told that before anywhere..........Couldn't do it and even now I'm tearing up...................Spaw just be passing through....... but as we've seen in the last tribute concert to Rick a few weeks ago, he is truly already an immortal to many and I was fortunate and blessed to know him and call him a friend.
