Its Throwback Thursday, and today we feature Oliver Sain! Born in Dundee, MS. in 1932, it was almost inevitable that Oliver would become a musician. His stepfather was pianist Willie Love, and his grandfather was guitarist Dan Sane, a partner of Frank Stokes in the Beale Street Sheiks (the difference in spelling of the surname resulted from a birth certificate error). His early days in music consisted of sitting in on sessions with legendary artists such as Sonny Boy Williamson, and Howlin Wolf. Saxophone player, band leader, songwriter, producer, studio owner and all-around St. Louis music legend, Sain made music since the late 1940s.I came to St. Louis in 1959 to play a weekend with Little Milton, and Ive been stranded here ever since.
