In 1992, Sondra London traveled to New Orleans with Kerry Thornley to produce the exclusive interview that appeared on A Current Affair; then continued to interview him during the final six years before his demise in 1998. The photos of Thornley that appear here were taken by Sondra London either in New Orleans or Atlanta.
The story that appears here was edited by Sondra London with Thornley's authorization, from a manuscript he originally called The Dreadlock Recollections, which he completed in 1989. He lived long enough to see the first eight chapters published under the new title on this domain in 1997.
The entire story was released on January 11, 2000.
