I know. I was just having some fun. My mom spends winters in Auburndale. I’m going there to see her next month. Is the Catfish House still there?

I know you were kidding. No, the owner, Carl Allen, died and the place was auctioned off piecemeal. I had moved there in 86 to start a business and Allen’s was a great place to unwind on Thursday nights. Lots of good ol’ toe tappin’ music. I played, so had tons of fun. Carl gave free meals to anyone who played on stage. That is, if you liked deep fried catfish, rattlesnake, gator and the like. Lots of women in the clogging groups and such. Life was good. Reagan was prez. Clinton and Obama were bad dreams of the future. Dire Straits was cranking.. As I say, life was good.

Terribly off topic, butI have found little to no good catfish in Central FL.
