    Finding Aid to The HistoryMakers ® Video Oral History with Wayne Baker Brooks Overview of the Collection Repository: The HistoryMakers®1900 S. Michigan Avenue Chicago, Illinois 60616 [email protected] www.thehistorymakers.com Creator: Brooks, Wayne Baker Title: The HistoryMakers® Video Oral History Interview with Wayne Baker Brooks, Dates: August 16, 2005 Bulk Dates: 2005 Physical 5 Betacame SP videocasettes (2:29:10). Description: Abstract: Blues musician Wayne Baker Brooks (1970 - ) is a guitarist and son of the legendary blues singer, Lonnie Brooks. He is the co- author of Blues for Dummies, and owner of Blue Island Records, under which he released his debut album, Mystery. Brooks was interviewed by The HistoryMakers® on August 16, 2005, in Chicago, Illinois. This collection is comprised of the original video footage of the interview. Identification: A2005_198 Language: The interview and records are in English. Biographical Note by The HistoryMakers® Wayne Baker, who performs as Wayne Baker Brooks, was born in Chicago on April 30, 1970, to Jeannine Baker and Lee Baker, Jr.—better known as legendary blues singer and guitarist Lonnie Brooks. Although he came from a musical family—his older brother, Ronnie Brooks, began performing with their father’s band in 1986—Brooks waited until he graduated from Percy L. Julian High School in 1988 to learn guitar. Brooks was able to learn from the best, as Junior Wells taught him to play his “Messin’ with the Kid.” In November 1988, Brooks became his brother’s road manager, and he soon embarked upon a performance career of his own when he joined his father’s band.
