Lafayette native "Lil' Buck" Sinegal's real name was Paul Alton Senegal. “Sinegal” was a spelling error on his first passport delivered just before he embarked on a European tour with Clifton Chenier. He kept the name. His nickname "Lil' Buck" (for little buckwheat) was due to his short stature. Born in 1944 and raised in a French creole-speaking family, he got his first guitar as a reward from a blind uncle he used to help picking cotton during school holidays. Since then his never left it until he finally quit the blues land in 2019 at age 75.
Early he started playing for musicians like Katie Webster (his first time in a recording studio), Barbara Lynn, Carol Fran, Percy Sledge, Millie Jackson, James "Thunderbird" Davis, Lee Dorsey or Joe Tex. As a session guitarist for the Excello Records label, he worked with Slim Harpo, Lazy Lester, Rockin' Dopsie Sr. Altogether, Sinegal would have recorded on some 300 sessions since the late 1950s !
