Experience
Author of Blues for Dummies
Jan 1996 — Present · Chicago, IL, US
Spearheaded & co-authored the book Blues for Dummies along with my father Lonnie Brooks and my dear late friend Cub Koda. On the day of conception I was in Muddy Waters childhood house at the Chicago Blues Festival 1996 when I thought I should write a book about blues music. I thought more people should know about Muddy Waters not just blues lovers. They shouldn\'t have to uproot & move Muddy\'s house, no one would ever uproot Elvis\' house. All Americans should be educated enough to want to go see Muddy\'s house. The next day I joked & said \"I\'m going to write Blues for Dummies\" everybody laughed. It was written in 1997, published in 1998, and translated into several languages including German, Italian, Dutch.
