What an inspiration....my brother who has played guitar for for about 30 years had turned me on to Mr. Lane and all I can say it brings tears to my eyes when I watch the vids of him playing the way he did and at the same time dealing with his disease.....I dont care if your Gilbert, Vai, Satch, or any other shredder out there....his playing had feeling and flavor and no one will ever match him...what a loss to the guitar world. RIP Shawn

I first heard Shawn play with Black Oak in a West Va night club (The Clover Club) in the fall of 1979. I was blown away by his command of of the guitar. Lucky enough to follow him to the dressing room between sets and talk for 10 minutes. He gave alot of credit to his grandmother for some musical training. I just read that he toured with Black Oak for 4 years. I'm surprised he could tolerate the bounderies imposed by that genre of music for so long. His own works are beautiful and a tribute to all that added to his life. 🙂

I can safely say Shawn has become my favorite guitarist and I'll die happy if I can play even 10% like he could some day.

I always loved and knew Shawn was special, unfortunately, I didn't get to know Shawn until the last 8 years he lived, boy did I miss alot.

I loved all of yall and hope to see yall soon.

"My soul is painted like the wings of butterflies
Fairytales of yesterday, will grow but never die
I can fly, my friends!"
"So dear friends
Your love is gone
Only tears to dwell upon
I dare not say as the wind must blow
So a love is lost, a love is won
Go to sleep, and dream again
Soon your hopes, will rise and then
From all this gloom life will start anew
And there'll be no crying soon"

I just found out today, ironically on the 4th anniversary of his death, that Shawn was gone... I and my best friend Andy Redus hung out with Shawn a few times in the mid 80's. I gasped when I saw the 'late Shawn Lane' mentioned on the Lace pickup site. I'm still stunned.
God bless and keep you Shawn.

Dear Diane and Mamaw
I was glad I was able to speak with you on the phone today, although I'd of rather been in Memphis. I love all of you and still miss Shawn everyday.
I played a bunch of his songs for him today. Anyways, September 26th is a very hard day for anyone who loves Shawn.
Love you guys .. See you soon.

My son Nick (3) loves to play his guitar and sing. He picked it up by himself. I am a lover of great guitar players...Eric Johnson, John Petrucci, Buckethead, Jimi, David Gilmore. He hears constant greatness on the instrument all the time. Today, I found this web page and put Nick on my lap to show him what Shawn was all about. I told him that Shawn was in Heaven and he too loved to play guitar..he listened for a moment and said to me "Shawn is happy Daddy" that brought me to tears as we listened to "Epilouge for Lisa". My son's life and happiness is everything to me and he is a very special child in everything he does. I look forward to sharing Shawns music with him.
Thank you Mrs. Lane for keeping this web page up so that I could have this small but large moment with me son.
Your son, even in death has brought a wonderfull moment to me and my son.
Your son's music will not be forgotten.
Thank you
John
