Dewey Segura

about

Dewey Segura was one of twelve children (their father was of Spanish origin, their mother French) most of whom played music to some extent. Born in 1902 he learned the rudiments as a child on one of his elder sisters' accordeons and by his early teens was playing regularly at local dances organised by their father. This pastime, combined with a career as a bootlegger, continued into the Twenties and in 1928 he arranged a recording session with his brother Eddie on vocals and triangle with Columbia Records in New Orleans. It was this session that was to produce the song by which he is understandably best known today - A Mosquito Ate up my Sweetheart!
