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.

LaBudde Department of Special Collections NOT TO BE USED FOR PUBLICATION BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH Evalyn “Evie” Smith Quarles was born to Birdie and Pete Smith of West Tennessee. The first five years of her life were spent in a one-room grocery store owned by her father. The family lived in four rooms in the back of the store until 1946 when her father sold the store and moved to Halls, Tennessee, so that Evie could attend first grade. Although the school did not have an art program Evie knew by the fourth grade that she wanted to be an artist, so when she graduated from high school she attended the University of Tennessee in Knoxville and graduated in 1962 with a BS in Education and a major in Art. Knowing that she did not want to become a teacher, she enrolled at the Memphis Academy of Arts in the Fall of 1962. In the Spring of 1964 a recruiter from Hallmark Cards came to the school to interview anyone who was interested. Knowing she was on the road to becoming a professional student, Evie decided to sign up. Two months later she was in Kansas City, Missouri, designing greeting cards for Hallmark.

  • Eddy Clearwater Bio
    EDDY CLEARWATER BIO With the release on his own Cleartone label of Soul Funky, cut live at SPACE in Evanston, Ill. in January of 2014 with his cooking band and special guests Ronnie Baker Brooks and Billy Branch, Eddy “The Chief” Clearwater once again underscores why he’s long been hailed as one of Chicago’s top blues guitarists. Born in Macon, Miss., Eddy Harrington started playing guitar after he moved to Birmingham, Alabama at age 13. His uncle’s acoustic model was designed for a righty, but that didn’t stop him from playing it upside down. “That’s the way I picked it up,” he says. “I said, ‘Well, if I’m going to do it, I have to do it this way.’ ‘Cause at that time, they wasn’t making left-handed guitars.” He initially confined his musical pursuits to the sanctified arena. “I played gospel in church,” he says. “I wouldn’t sing, but I’d just play guitar. I was too shy to sing.” That same good-hearted uncle, Rev. Houston H. Harrington, relocated to Chicago and bought his Eddy an electric axe from Sears, Roebuck after he followed suit in 1950. “He sent me a ticket on the Greyhound bus for $15,” says Clearwater. “I wish I would have kept the ticket!” The reverend also introduced his nephew to the teeming local blues scene. “He took me around to some clubs,” says Eddy. “He took me to Sylvio’s to see Muddy Waters, also to see Howlin’ Wolf. At that time, Little Walter was still with Muddy.
