Biography
Connie Curtis Crayton (December 18, 1914 - June 25, 1985) known as Pee Wee Crayton, was an American rhythm & blues and blues guitarist and singer.
Born in Rockdale, Texas, United States, there are several stories on how Crayton acquired the name Pee Wee. In a Living Blues article in the 1980s, he stated that friend and singer, Roy Brown, gave him the nickname. This makes sense since Brown had a way of making nicknames for many of his friends. It has also been said that his father gave him the nickname as a tribute to a local Texas piano player.
