Jim Hemphill Billy Eli Joe Stack Ric Furley
Jim Hemphill was born in or around State Center Iowa, at or around the end of the Eisenhower administration.
It’s hard to know the exact facts of Jims early life, due to a corn picking incident in which young Jim became separated from his family. They searched and searched for the missing boy, but at last night fell and the search was abandoned.
Jim was taken in and raised by a flock of wolverines (if this sounds familiar it’s because my son Griffi has made me watch jungle book for the last 32 hours straight).
It was a few years farther on, and Jim was still living happily with his adopted family. One day while the flock was rooting through empty Spam cans at the city dump, Jim had an epiphany in the form of a parked car with the windows down and the radio blasting a strange and powerful noise. It was NEVER MIND THE BOLLOCKS HERE’S THE SEX PISTOLS. Jim was a changed wolverine and when the flock flew south that winter, well Jim wandered into town and got a job as a guitar instructor.
I think he probably went to college, but since I wasn’t there, don’t hold me to that part.
Several years later I met Jim in Austin. I was looking for a guitar player, and Jim owned several guitars. It was perfect.
I think Jim probably has some kind of job, and I know he has wife and some kids who have almost no wolverine type tendencies.
