Celebrating the Birthday of Lil' Buck Sinegal

Born Paul Alton Senegal on January 14, 1944, in Lafayette, Louisiana, Paul “Lil’ Buck” Sinegal was a legendary blues and zydeco guitarist and singer. He was known as the Master of the Stratocaster, and played with Clifton Chenier, Buckwheat Zydeco, and many others during his 60 year career. Sinegal once said, "I am probably more known as a zydeco guitarist... [but] I've always been a bluesman...Zydeco is the blues. It's basically blues played with accordion.” Sadly, he passed away on June 10, 2019, in his Lafayette home, but this incredibly talented bluesman’s music lives on.
