Catfish-a tribute to Matt Long

SINCE DOING THIS INTERVIEW AND FEATURE, MATT LONG HAS BEEN SERIOUSLY ILL. HE PASSED AWAY ON OCTOBER 6, 2024 AT THE AGE OF ONLY 29. WE WERE SO UPSET TO READ THE NEWS AND OUR THOUGHTS WILL ALWAYS BE WITH HIS FAMILY AND FRIENDS FOR THEIR LOSS. WE HAVE LEFT THE FEATURE AS IT WAS, IN OUR TRIBUTE TO THIS GREAT TALENT WHO WILL BE SO MUCH MISSED WITHIN THE BLUES AND ROCK COMMUNITY. IT WAS A PRIVILAGE TO HAVE DONE THIS FEATURE. GOD BLESS MAT, RIP.
