Sarg Records Introduces...
Little Doug Sahm
(Jacket notes from Doug's first record, A Real American Joe / Rollin, Rollin (SARG 113, 1955)
PROGRAM PATTER ON LITTLE DOUG
Douglas Wayne Sahm, professionally known as Little Doug, is twelve years old. He started singing at the age of five, when he entered a contest over K.M.A.C. in San Antonio, Texas. He was then placed on a kiddie program called "Stars Over San Antonio" by Tony Bessan. He began his musical career at the age of six and a half, playing a triple neck steel guitar, fiddle, lead guitar, mandolin and other instruments -- all by ear.
Little Doug is now four feet seven inches tall and weighs eighty one pounds. Television and radio are all in his background. He has held an Honorary Union Permit Card from the Musician's Society of San Antonio since he was nine years of age. He has been playing with top bands and making personal appearances with such celebrities as Webb Pierce, Farron Younge, Goldy Hill, Hank Thompson and many others. For two years he was on coast to coast Mutual network originating from Bandero, Texas. Some of his appearances have been on the "Louisiana Hay Ride" from Shreveport, on "Big D" in Dallas, in auditoriums and theaters. Now comes the opportunity with Sarg Label to record his songs, which should be a big break for such a talented youngster.
Doug's ambition when grown is to be a great leader of a big orchestra and to be highly educated in school and music. He now attends Sam Houston Jr. High in San Antonio, Texas. His sports are baseball, football and various other activities. His family consists of his parents and one older brother, Victor, who is now on duty in the armed services.
Watch for this little bundle of dynamite to advance on the Sarg label as years go by.
