It's all lifting-related stuff, so it might not appeal, but one never knows. This filled in some blanks for the article I'm about to post about William Smith on, if you get curious and want to check it out. Johnny H was actually only there to play music for the event, which was part of the Mr Olympia (bodybuilding) weekend. Bill Smith was already multiple world champion at under 200 pounds, and Johnny H came out of the crowd to try him for the title when Smith had wrecked the rest of the field. Great article, man! That guitar was sick! I stumbled across this looking for info on Johnny H because he armwrestled famed actor William Smith (Laredo, Red Dawn, Conan, Batman '66, and like 260 other films and tv shows) at the IFBB World Arm Wrestling Championships for the TV and Film Industry Title. In addition to music Jesse Haemmerle did some film work with Frankie Avalon, he was a contestant on several TV game shows and New York city TV show where he played a singing cop. Was he actually Elvis Presley's twin brother? I do not know if that mystery will ever be solved. Elvis rarely talked to anyone about his “stillborn” brother, but on that afternoon when they met, the floodgates opened up and that's all both men talked about for hours. Jesse says that he was able to meet Elvis in 1964. This is something that haunted both men throughout their lives. It is said that Elvis had a twin brother named Jesse, who was declared dead at birth. His legal father obtained his birth certificate and it showed his birthday to be January 8th of 1935 and his birthplace was Tupelo Mississippi.Ĭoincidentally Elvis Aaron Presley was born on that same day, January 8th of 1935 and his birthplace was also in Tupelo, Mississippi. But h e had learned from three family members that his real birth name was Presley. Jesse Haemmerle had been using the name Johnny H as the leader for his band. But what is really amazing, besides that guitar, is his story. He has posted 19 other recordings on his myspacepage, Most are covers of popular hit songs of the 1950’s and ‘60’s.
