Eurreal Wilford "Little Brother" Montgomery, born on April 18, 1906, in Kentwood, Louisiana, was raised in a family where music played a central and meaningful role in daily life. His parents, Harper Montgomery and Edna Burton Montgomery, provided an environment that nurtured his early interest in the arts. Affectionately referred to as "Little Brother Harper," he emerged as a self-taught blues pianist who cultivated a distinctive style without the benefit of formal training, instead mastering music entirely through auditory learning. By the age of four, he had already begun playing the piano, and at just eleven years old, he embarked on a four-year journey away from home, performing in barrelhouses across Louisiana. His formative years were influenced by notable figures such as Jelly Roll Morton, who was known to visit the Montgomery household. As his career progressed, he further expanded his horizons by performing in African American lumber and turpentine camps, which spanned Louisiana, Arkansas, and Mississippi, solidifying his reputation as a skilled and versatile musician. Not many people in Tangipahoa Parish know about Little Brother Montgomery. 

During a review of my archived collection, I discovered a scanned copy of a letter dated April 11, 1976. This letter was written on Amos Kent's letterhead. The letter, addressed to the Kentwood Ledger newspaper, included a program for the Jazz Festival at the Fairgrounds in New Orleans, Louisiana. Amos Kent mentioned that Little Brother Montgomery, a native of Kentwood, was born at Kent's Mill. Kent says Montgomery began playing the piano at five, ran away at a young age, and performed worldwide. Montgomery later informed Kent that he had returned from Japan and would attend the festival in New Orleans.

Kent noted that Karl Gert zur Heide had written a book about Little Brother Montgomery's life. Montgomery sent albums to Kent to place at LSU, Tulane, and Foundation Hall. Black men living in Kent Mill knew Montgomery: Richard Smith, James Dancer, Irvin Fluker, and Varnado Anderson attested to Montgomery's character.
