Famous Guitar Player Lewie Wickham at age 73 still writing music in multiple genres, Lewie is known mostly for his humorous novelty song lyrics like this spoof of legendary TV show Gunsmoke and (Miss) Kitty Litter in which Marshal Matt Dillon is a corrupt horse thief, Miss. Kitty is a permiscuous bisexual and the Hero, Kansas outlaw who ends up a Dead Dude in Dodge City when Marshal Dillon shoots him for his Buckskin Horse. All the notes for a Country Music Video classic.Custom Guitar hand made by Lorenzo Pimentel. I think only three Pimentel guitars were made with the Lewie Wickham eagle eye logo.
I was a bartender in Albuquerque not long after the war, Vietnam that is and one way I was sure to have a good date with a beautiful Albuquerque girl was to go out to the Holiday Inn on East Central and listen to the Wichhams. If you want to hear a great song, make Lewie do Corrales.
I remember one night when they played the Wine Cellar and that's where I tended. Wow!

His song "Little Bit Late" was the only song I ever heard him do. And that was on the radio. What a talented man. He missed his mark in the entertainment world. But as long as he was great locally...what does it matter?

I remember my father taking us to clubs to watch them play. I remember Hank's red caboose he lived in and my favorite dog he gave us. And even how Lewie would take time to talk to a kid (me) as I wrote up his sales ticket for guitar strings from my father's music store. Good memories...

Wonder if he's related? Doubt it but we do have the same last name. That's how I found him on here tonight and I really like his song.

I found this from a Pimentel guitar search. Hilarious lyrics and that wonderful Pimentel guitar sound.
Lorenzo Pimentel passed away December 2010.

WOW, I love this song. I have been a fan of the Wickham's for a long, long time. Can someone tell me where I could get this song on a CD? I used to take my daughter to see them in every place they were booked. When I remarried, my husband became a fan, too. We live in AZ now, haven't seen Hank or Lewie in a very long time. I am glad he is still singing and playing guitar. I would love to see you again.

WOW! So glad to see Lewie - my mom Lynne and her 2 friends - the crazy Judis used to go watch Hank and Lewie play and I would stay home and play with their daughters. Lewie sounds great still! God bless you Lewie!!
