About Me |
|
| My mother, Heaven Williams (aka: Heaven Hill), rest her soul, was a distiller's daughter, and a tea-totaler all her life. She met my father, a rounder, a drifter, "a good client..." in the burlesque house she managed in Memphis, TN. She gave me the name "Purgatory" because it was, she said, "the nearest thing to Heaven I could find" and handed down the surname "Hill" (her stripper name) because she "liked it." (More details of my life will become available as they're created) I suppose i fit the category "one-man band" because i make all the noise of a band (due in large part to the main instrument i play, the Lowebow or "Purgatory Hill Harp" built by the brilliant John Lowe, aka "Johnny Lowebow") on the suggestion of blues great Richard Johnson, and because, despite multiple identities, there's only one of me. I also play harmonica on a neck rack, and a stomp board developed by my mentor pat mAcdonald (aka "Troubadour of Stomp") i recently recorded a CD called "The Blues of Sin" that should be out soon. Watch for tour dates! xo,p |
