About Big Tiny Little

Dudley "Big Tiny" Little, Jr. was an American musician who appeared on The Lawrence Welk Show from 1955 to 1959. His primary instrument was the piano. After his tenure on the show (he was replaced by Jo Ann Castle), Little went solo again; recording more than 45 albums and making guest appearances on several television programs over the years. He became a member of Lawrence Welk's famous "champagne music makers" just one month after Welk's national TV debut in 1955. A regular feature of Welk's popular show, Tiny's outstanding keyboard artistry won him millions of fans from coast to coast.
