In 1981, Lenny began a column in a well known Guitar Magazine which lasted until 1984. Part1:

I’m sure I saw this back around 1981/84, but it is really great to see it again. Thanks for posting, Dave!

I remember reading that at the time and wondering "who the heck is Lenny Breau?" I had never heard of him before that and didn't actually hear his music for probably another 25 years after these articles were published.

I think the next time I heard of him was in Ted Greene's interview with George Van Eps in GP magazine.

For those many who aren't haven't heard any Lenny Breau in a while, head on over to BandCamp for a listen to his duet with Brad Terry, "The Living Room Tapes."

I would like to be able to eat his dust someday.
