“I played a Hamer once, but I didn’t like it. I didn’t have time to set my amp right for it,” Brooks said of his first experience with a Hamer. “Then one night, I was on stage and I broke a string. I said to my son, who’s my guitar technician, `Hand me that Hamer.’ Man, my amp must have been set just right because that guitar kicked out and I just went crazy. People were saying, `What’s wrong with him?’ Twenty years came back. I haven’t put down that guitar since.” -Lonnie Brooks

"I’d think learning to play the guitar would be very confusing for sighted people.” Doc Watson

"Most rock journalism is people who can't write, interviewing people who can't talk, for people who can't read." Frank Zappa
