I started a quest to find terrific blues music and incredible musicianship when I was just a little kid. I also have a tremendous appreciation of fine musical instruments and equipment. One of my greatest joys all of my life was sharing my finds with my friends. I'm now publishing my journey. I hope that you come along!

Sugar Man - Doug Finnell
Douglas Finnell was born in Dallas, TX. in 1903. In the late 1920's he worked with T-Bone Walker as his pianist. Finnell recorded two sides in November of 1929 in Dallas with his group The Royal Stompers, featuring his brother Eddie on Vocals, Sam Price on piano, Bert Johnson on trombone and he himself blowing cornet. These recordings were issued on the 1930 single (Brunswick 7123). Famed Chicago blues drummer S.P. Leary was born in Texas and remembered working with Finnell in Dallas in the 1940's, with Finnell playing piano. Whether or not that Finnell remained a constant on the Dallas performing scene is unknown, but in 1954 he traveled to Houston and recorded four numbers for Peacock, with only two being released. Finnell passed away in Dallas on August 1, 1988.
