Early Days in Texas, Not all the great blues and rhythm & blues guitarists are from Texas, but Cornell Luther Dupree is certainly one who holds that distinction. Born in Fort Worth on December 19, 1942 to Bernice and Cornell, Sr., he was raised an only child by his mother following the untimely passing of his father in 1944. He understands that his father had been an amateur guitarist who clowned around at parties. His grandfather, however, played country & western music on the fiddle at "hoe-downs" and at home. Cornell remembers picking up the fiddle and "sawing on it" when he was four or five years old, and he recalls his mother practicing gospel music on the piano to play in the church. The Dupree household also had an old Victrola, upon which popular music of the day would be occasionally played. Cornell mainly heard C&W music around his neighborhood at this time, and the only place to hear blues and R&B was on radio station KNOK in Ft. Worth between the hours of twelve and five in the afternoon. Artists like T-Bone Walker, Lowell Fulsom, Charles Brown, and Louis Jordan were popular in the black community then, but the great Texas guitarists like Walker and Fulsom did not yet appeal to young Cornell. Instead, he was attracted to the alto saxophone when he was eleven after seeing a local TV show that featured a catchy jazz tune played by the house band. Previously to this, he had figured out some boogie-woogie patterns and little tunes like "Boiling Cabbage" on his mother's piano. His mother bought him a saxophone and Cornell began private lessons with a junior high school music teacher in his home. The lessons lasted for a few years until he went to junior high and joined the school band to learn marching band music. Getting a Guitar At this same time, he had a friend who worked the concession stand at the local venues where R&B entertainers such as Little Richard, Ray Charles, and B.B. King would perform. Cornell would often accompany him to these engagements, and on one particular occasion got to see Johnny "Guitar" Watson at a Masonic Hall. Watson had a hit on the radio with "Those Lonely Lonely Nights," and Cornell was so taken with his playing and performance that he became tremendously attracted to the instrument and begged his mother to get him one. He also had two friends who played guitar, Frank Lott and Calvin Love, and was able to convince his mother of his seriousness. A used, sunburst acoustic Stella was procured at a pawn shop. Cornell began to learn to play it at the age of 14, even as he continued to play alto sax in the school band. His mother, who was always supportive of his musical interests, would occasionally take him to the clubs in the area to see local musicians. Edward Franklin, Huary P. Wilson, and a fellow known as "Catman" were some of the guitarists that Cornell came to know who would show him licks. Eventually, they began stopping by the house, calling him "little brother" and taking more time to instruct him. By this time, Cornell had to have an electric guitar, and his mother bought him a Harmony hollow body with a DeArmond pickup and a Silvertone amp for Christmas of 1956. Cornell had become aware of the music of Jimmy Reed, Muddy Waters, Lightnin' Hopkins, and Little Son Jackson. He then started playing rhythm and boogie-bass figures with his guitar buddies, and the three of them, plus drummer Murphy Crockett, would play talent shows after school. In addition, some of the nicer neighborhood clubs allowed youngsters to come in and play on Sunday afternoons. Cornell and his fledgling group also received exposure and experience (and very little money!) in this manner as well. With Cornell on his Harmony, Frank on his Les Paul, and Calvin with his arch top Gibson, they played mainly blues and R&B instrumentals, including some originals.
