I've heard Magic Dick attribute Whammer Jammer to all sorts of
musicians - harp players and non harp players, in interviews. Sure maybe
it had
multiple influences. But maybe he's just having a little fun with the
interviewers (and listeners). It's not exactly a philosophical piece. It's
a
good rip snorting trip through an A harp on a rock song.
Listen to the old James Cotton recording of "Rocket 88" for some of the
ideas that influenced Whammer Jammer.
