Monday Mornin’ at the Catfish Grill

When the undisputed star of rock ‘n’ roll in the 1950s suddenly decides that he can’t take another minute of the fame and adoration that is now suffocating him, he slips away under a disguise and disappears into a small southern town where he is anonymous and takes a job in a diner as “just one the guys.” There he finds a simple freedom to ask the big questions and develop real relationships that will ultimately redirect the course of his life.

This is the might-be-true but definitely untold story of the King of Rock ‘n’ Roll’s “Lost Weekend.” 

In September 1959, in the midst of filming the latest in a long line of movies, the brightest star in the celebrity rockabilly universe disappears. Simply vanishes. The police say kidnapping. The movie-mags think secret tryst. Friends fear a mental breakdown. All the while, his agents and handlers are furiously attempting to keep the entire saga under wraps and hidden from millions of adoring fans. 

But behind it all, there is a mysterious but beautiful story of love and promise set in rural Mississippi. Hilarious in parts but heartwarming throughout, Monday Mornin’ at the Catfish Grill brings a fascinating twist to the legend of one of America’s most adored music icons.

    “This reads like history. Makes me think parts of it were really true…were they?”

  2. Ruby W. –

    “Those photo sections and movie posters were fantastic. How did you get all of that? I have to admit, it made me look up the films to see if they were real.”

  3. Andrew G. –

    “What a fun flashback into the 1950s. You captured the spirit of the era perfectly. I could picture every scene like it was a movie.”

  4. Rita K. –

    “One of my favorite books in a long time…I went through it so fast too! Loved seeing the ‘real’ photos of the characters. My favorite part was the ‘Baby Bunny’ song and that part of the story.”

  5. Carole R. –

    “I loved ‘Catfish Grill’! Just a great, fun to read, happy-feeling book! Made me long for the ‘good ole days’. I couldn’t put it down once I started!”

  6. Corey Jamison –

    “By the end I felt like I knew each of the characters…and then I started missing them when it was over.”
