Doug Legacy

 

As a boy in East Texas, my father would wake us up singing; “Good morning to you, good morning to you! We’re all in our places with bright shining faces! Oh, this is the way to start a new day!”. Then he would go play “Deep Purple” on piano while my mother would sing. Now when I play solo, I always try to work that song into the set.


When I was a kid, my family moved around Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana a lot. Being able to play a little Ray Charles or boogie boogie on the piano was a great ice breaker, especially in Arkansas when I was in 2nd grade.  I consider music to be the universal language that could potentially unify us all.

As a teenager, it was life changing to see Clifton Chenier and his brother Cleveland preform. Clifton was playing all the right licks and Cleveland was running all around the room playing the rubboard (frottoir) with thimbles on his finger tips. Little did I know that years later, I would be running around the hall with a wireless accordion. I have since discovered that Clifton and I had similar musical heroes. Muddy Waters, Howlin’ Wolf, Lightnin’ Hopkins and Professor Longhair are to name but a few.
