Me, Broken Hand
as a real cute mother fucker
Stick em up !
I Will now tell you the true story of how I came by the handle of "Broken Hand"®    To the ' Way Back Machine ' Sherman ! !

Back in the early eel ® days, I used to warm up before practice by smashing my left hand lightly with a 32 ounce, redwood handle, "plumb"® brand, framing hammer, it added exponentially to the sustain on my fuzz box.
It was Way-Gnarly-Way ! !
Well sir, pretty soon, every one was refering to me
by the nickname "Broken Hand" ®
you know, like Eric "Slo Hand"® Clapton
( though I not sure that's a registered nickname).
And has the name stuck ! !
Boy has it ever ! !

Even though the eels® have long since, to paraphrase Charles Manson,
" Ceased to Exsist ! !" and now-a-days I limber up with a more conservative estwing® 16 ounce straight-claw nickle-finish, it's still ,
"Hey ! Broken Hand ® Dude-ness ! ! Whats up with all this gnarlum babe ? ?"
