Jimmy Story permanently dyed his skin black for over 1 year.
Daniel Myrick from "The Blair Witch Project" (1999) helped Billy Yeager edit a version of the film in 1999.
It was not so much that Jimmy Story dyed his skin black and concocted a complex murder conspiracy story that convinced the press that he was the real deal.
It was the fact that Billy Yeager wrote and produced songs that sounded so much like Jimi Hendrix that musical experts such as Mitch Mitchell and Buddy Miles told the press that this music could have been written by no one else other than Jimi Hendrix.
Jimmy's story stated that his mother Sunshine had Jimi Hendrix's lost Bolero Tapes, which were raw demo recordings that had only Jimi's voice and guitar on cassette tape, and that after many years from keeping his father's identity a secret, she tells her son his father is Jimi Hendrix and gives him the lost songs that Jimmy Story re-records with full instrumentation.
