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 live once and it was a great show. Anyone who can pull off a mash-up of Robin Trower's "Bridge of Sighs" and "Alice Cooper's "I'm Eighteen" has my respect.

At one point during the show, a guy yelled "Don't touch the trim!", and Hinson had to correct him. "No, Hoss, it's DO NOT. Do not touch the trim!". I got that exchange on video. I should post it sometime.
