Eddie and Sugar Lou's Hotel Tyler Orchestra

Eddie Fennell and Sugar Lou Morgan's Hotel Tyler Orchestra (circa 1920s-30s) was an early blues-tinged jazz band from Austin, Texas. The Hotel Tyler was in Tyler, Texas. One of the band's eleven 78 rpm phonograph record sides was "KWKH Blues," which was commissioned as a theme song for radio station KWKH in Shreveport, Louisiana.[1] All eleven sides were recorded in Dallas, Texas in October 1929 and November 1930. Money Johnson was in the band early in his career. Regular members were: Henry Thompson (tp), Stanlee Hardee (tp), Albert Mitchell (tb), Adrian Kenney (as/bar), Charles "Sugar Lou" Morgan (p), Eddie Fennell (bj/vcl, arr), and Lee Scott (dr).[2][3][4]
