Show Bidness

Conway Twitty Freeman was an impressionable young boy who thought he was achicken. Doil Pettyjohn was a donkey ball promotin' bootlegger and monkey ranchshowman, who wanted to adopt him. The Reverend 'Booger' Dalrymple was a crusading charlatan that wanted to build a television ministry around him. His alleged father, a notorious but highly successful chicken fighter, in cahoots withthe Preacher's voluptous ex-wife, wanted to abduct him, and a sexually confused Hollywood actress wanted to film it all. Somebody was bound to be disappointed. 

Born and raised in Anniston, and later, Sand Mountain, Alabama, amongst the charismatic preachers, bootleggers and chicken fighters that were the inspiration for the characters, and the locale of this offering. Lyricist and wandering drummist, most recently with W.R. (Bud) Thornton and the Boxmasters, and Unknown Hinson, The King of Country Western Troubadours, has traveled and performed all over North America, done a little TV and radio. Moved to try his hand at full length fiction by an eerily prophetic statement written on the bathroom wall in a recording studio in Muscle Shoals; "Here I sit, broken hearted, wrote a hit that never charted."
