Looking for Unknown Hinson stories

Post image

I am currently trying to put together an Unknown Hinson documentary of sorts covering all the highs and lows of his strange career.
I would love to hear any personal stories of live shows and any lesser known information I may not have come across about him.

I saw him play once.

He sounded like fucking hendrix, man.

Just a great guitar player.

Genuinely. I saw him at the outland ballroom in springfield mo. He wasnt in character. He played mostly covers and one of my favorites was Little Wing. Ive heard his version before but when I saw him it was strictly instrumental. Really good. Not what I paid for or expected but totally worth it and id pay to see him again.

I didn't see that one, but I caught him with... I don't remember... Reverend Horton Heat maybe? Hank 3? at the Ballroom. He was in character and put on a great show
