I feel so cheated...I just recently even found out about Shawn. I can't believe I hadn't heard of such a fabulous musician. Obviously he could have had any degree of celebrity that he wanted with talent like that. I read somewhere that he was content to kind of 'fly under the radar and do his own thing.' Some people can study music, practice, and learn to play music, but it's obvious that Shawn was the music...and music like that can never be silenced or forgotten. I realize it's easy to feel sad of his loss, but you should feel blessed for having him.

I came across shawn's music just a couple of months ago. one of the most brilliant composers i've heard. thanks for those notes you left behind.

happy holidays to all of shawn's family-the music truly lives on in your hearts and in ours.

Dear Diane and the rest of the Lane family first off I'd like to extend my deepest sympathy for your loss. I have no idea how it is losing someone so close but I can imagine it hurts. I'm very much inspired by Shawn's work and am actually saving up for one of his Master signature Vigier guitars. I play progressive metal mostly so most people are like "oh that won't suit your style blah blah blah" but I don't care. I'm buying it on a complete whim never tried the guitar or anything and I'll be dropping about $3,000 into getting it. Why? The music he created was so incredibly beautiful and inspirational that I can only aspire to become 1/2 no not even 1/2 a millionth of the musician he was. I've also heard such great things about Vigier. I live in Tennessee and my girlfriend is a big supporter of me wanting to become a solo musician like Shawn was so I'd like to visit his grave in Memphis sometime and pay my respect. It's the least I can do when he's done so much for musicians and especially for me. Shawn Lane may not be with us now but his music lives on!

I first heard Sean on his Powers of Ten Album. The experience was like the first time I heard Steve Morse, I knew that I was hearing musical genius, but I wasn't exactly sure that I could understand it. I put the album up for a while after listening to it once, I got it back out about a week later and gave it another shot, soon it would stay on for extended periods, and the music became intelligible to me. Sean was so advanced that even today his stuff blows most artists away. I have three favorite guitarists, Steve Morse, John Petrucci and Shawn, I wish he was still here, the world is in short supply of players like him. R.I.P. Shawn, I miss you.

Thank you Shawn for all your great music.

Hi, I'm a guitar player from Panamá, me and my friends love Shawn's music, my guitar teacher always told me about Shawn and his music. I hope that the issues with the record companies will be fixed soon so I can buy Shawn's albums for my collection. Saludos desde Panamá

I wish you could have got to meet the amazing person I am proud to say was my uncle Shawn Lane!!!!!!! We all love him and miss him so! Keep on rockin Shawn Fans, Shawn's niece, Lexy

Just tripped upon Shawn as I was going through youtube. What a fasinating musician to watch! I am sad to hear that he has passed. I would have enjoyed going to see him play. Godspeed Shawn! I am sure you are sitting behind the harps in heaven!
