A real Hasil

Here’s me before work this morning. No, not really. This would be West Virginia’s greatest psycho-billy rocker,  the late, legendary Hasil Adkins. (1937-2005). I’m working on a multimedia piece for my newspaper on the West Virginia Music Hall of Fame at Tamarack near Beckley, W.Va. The eclectic exhibit documents a host of performers with W.Va. ties, from opera to jazz, gospel to crazy-ass rockers as this photo in the exhibit of the Boone County cult figure testifies. | click photo bigger
