Long enough and new enough. Hook is interesting, but I am a little puzzled by the name of the article. Was his first name "Little" or where did the epithet come from? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 06:55, 18 December 2011 (UTC)

Wording expanded to indicate that the 'Little' prefix was used as part of his stage name - indeed he was thenceforth commonly referred to as 'Little Arthur Duncan'. Frankly, the existing sources do not explain why (although it is a common enough prefix for blues musicians). - Derek R Bullamore (talk) 17:31, 18 December 2011 (UTC)
