He had a younger sister, Marian, and younger brother, Raymond. The teenage Hunt was a banjoist with a local band while he was attending college at Ohio State University where he majored in Electrical Engineering,[3] and during his college years he switched from banjo to trombone. He graduated from the Cincinnati Conservatory of Music.[3] He joined Jean Goldkette's Orchestra in 1928.[3] Pee Wee Hunt was the co-founder and featured trombonist with the Casa Loma Orchestra, but he left the group in 1943 to work as a Hollywood radio disc jockey before joining the Merchant Marine near the end of World War II.[3] He returned to the West Coast music scene in 1946. His "Twelfth Street Rag" was a three million-selling,[1] number one hit in September 1948.[2] He was satirized as Pee Wee Runt and his All-Flea Dixieland Band in Tex Avery's animated MGM cartoon Dixieland Droopy (1954). His second major hit was "Oh!" (1953), his second million-selling disc, which reached number three in the Billboard chart.[4] At age 72, Hunt died after a long illness in Plymouth, Massachusetts.{{citation needed|date=March 2019}} Hunt and his wife, Ruth, had a daughter Holly and son Lawrence.
