Sunnier Sunday on the way, fairly quiet times ahead into Halloween
CALEDONIA, Wis. (CBS 58) -- It's been nearly 22 years since a Saturday Night Live sketch featuring actors Will Ferrell and Christopher Walken made "more cowbell" a pop culture catchphrase. The words are still music to the ears of Ulisis Santiago, a handcraft cowbell maker in Caledonia.
The self-taught craftsman and musician remains one of the only musical cowbell makers left in the country.
On CBS 58 Sunday Morning, Michael Schlesinger discovered the love of what Santiago does resonates far beyond the garage where his instruments are made.
