Grant Lawrence and Friends will include a collection of the host’s stories and music from friends Dustin Bentall and the Blue Wranglers, along with Kamloops’ own Madison Olds. “He’s a fascinating figure who came into my life when I was a nerdy, scared little kid,” Lawrence told KTW. Letawsky, once a suit-clad Toronto businessman entrenched in the rat race in the 1960s, “snapped” one day and began heading west, eventually arriving in the region to pan for gold in the hills around Kamloops, Lawrence explained. Letawsky’s story is full of twists and eccentricities, much like most of those Lawrence has written about over the years. Lawrence’s latest book, Return to Solitude, is his long-awaited sequel to Adventures in Solitude, and was released on April 30.
