Post by John Bushouse »

A great article in the August 2010 issue of Vintage Guitar, written by Deke Dickerson.

Been awaiting this issue for a month now per the other thread on LK/GP. Glad to see Deke had the duties.

A big mahalo should also go out to forum member Paul Warnick, who did the interviews and headed up the beautiful restoration of the equipment in the article.

...that's not to say we shouldn't read Deke's article.
***WARNING: the above commentary is probably Chris' OPINION, and therefore, he thinks he's right.

Paul's last name is actually spelled Warnik. My apologies for any confusion.

Thanks for the kudos, guys. TC Furlong and Paul Warnik turned me on to Letritia, and wanted to make sure the article got written. Without Paul's doggedness in pursuing the story it's likely Letritia would have been completely forgotten. I'm glad I was given the chance to write about her story.
