An alumnus recalled the disciplined ambience Kandle created:
Wabash Ave., which eventually had 14 instructors.
She opened a studio in the Kimball Building at 306 S. In the 1940s she gave up performing in favor of teaching. (The Sousa Archives and Center for American Music/University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign) This photo is part of the Letritia Kandle Papers and Hawaiian Guitars collection at The Sousa Archives and Center for American Music at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. “All I ever tried to do was elevate the steel guitar into a more versatile instrument that was capable of playing other styles of music, like modern and classical, not just Hawaiian,” said Letritia Kandle, shown here circa 1940. That same year, National Guitars, which hoped to market the Grand Letar, shipped it to New York for the National Music Trade Convention, The Grand Letar made its debut at the Drake Hotel in 1937, where Kandle was appearing with Paul Whiteman. “The tuning was just ‘an act of God,’ entirely without precedent.” “The problems we encountered were many, each one had to be dealt with separately - a metal had to be chosen for the casting, that would not expand or contract when in contact with heat - sizes of strings, electronics, etc.,” she later recalled.
Inside the Grand Letar was an array of colored light bulbs linked by an electrical switching system that projected a rainbow through a glass window, swapping one hue for another in accord with the music’s tempo. The Hawaiian guitar had already swapped a wooden body for a metal one, giving it the alternate name of a steel guitar. He built her a guitar with three six-string necks and two four-string necks atop a cast aluminum console. Hers was of the second variety, and she described her vision to her father, an engineer specializing in earth-boring equipment: “A guitar that would enable me to stand while playing it, one that would sound full, like an organ, and yet produce tones like a vibraharp.” “If you have, you know that there are primarily two different kinds - one where the dreamer tries to escape from the reality of living, and one where the dreamer sets a mental goal for himself, and then tries by hard, honest endeavor to reach it in reality.” “Have you ever indulged in dreaming?” she later wrote in Music Studio News. Loot and Upgrade: Strike down menacing creatures, recover stronger loot to equip on the fly and unlock new perks along the way.Įxpand Your Camp: Turn hard-earned resources into campsite upgrades and gain valuable reinforcements with each completed loop along the expedition path.Why stop at two necks? Kandle reasoned. Find balance between the cards to increase your chances of survival while recovering valuable loot and resources for your camp. Plan Your Struggle: Strategically place building, terrain, and enemy cards along each loop to create your own dangerous path. No expedition is ever the same as the ones before it. Infinite Adventure: Select from unlockable character classes and deck cards before setting out on each expedition along a randomly generated loop path. Unlock new classes, new cards, and devious guardians on your quest to shatter the endless cycle of despair.
Recover and equip powerful loot for each class of hero for their battles and expand the survivors' camp to reinforce each adventure through the loop. Wield an expanding deck of mystical cards to place enemies, buildings, and terrain along each unique expedition loop for the brave hero. The Lich has thrown the world into a timeless loop and plunged its inhabitants into never ending chaos.
