Subject: RE: Catfish John Origin? From: GUEST Date: 09 Mar 10 - 10:14 AM It was written in a hotel by Mr.Kearse, and I think a gentleman by the name of Steve Pittman, or Goodman, not sure on that a hundred percent. However, these gentelmen did not get credit for it, or I know atleast one didn't!!! |
Subject: RE: Catfish John Origin? From: Vic Date: 17 Dec 98 - 08:27 AM I think this belongs in the mixed up folk thread...with a title like "Mississippi Privy" or "House of the Sunken Moon" or something! |

Subject: RE: Catfish John Origin? From: Vic Date: 16 Dec 98 - 01:37 PM My performance partner introduced me to this one, and he said he learned it off a Garcia/Grisman album of childrens' songs. We play it, and give that credit, since we don't know who wrote it. We sure like to know, though.
