Oh. Well, that shut me up. But whereas Yng got more or less instant acclaim, put into a well-known band and then a pretty much constant following and reputation, Shawn got . . . well, not as much. Can you even imagine Shawn with an orchestra, like Yng did? The mind literally just comes over itself at the thought.
You are very very right though, your point is very valid. In a way, watching everyone ELSE get recongition whilst he laboured away on different club + Euro circuits, really wasn't the happiest thing that could ahve happened to Shawn Lane. Still, I am prety sure he didn't want to be mega famous, but equally, iI am fairly certain that getting passed over whilst people kind of ripped his tone/ideas off, didn't do much for his happiness either.
You can find lots of Shawn's material on Bardo Records. I encourage everyone to email them via their website, requesting > "we want more Shawn Lane material" released.
check out SHAWN LANE on Google Plus - thanks.

Playing this Weather Report classic just proves that he is in a different class than the "rock" guys people compare him to.

So I am not sure WHY Varney did nothing. Shawn got a Spotlight colum about 5 years after the demos but that's it AFAIK!
And my God, yes, what a thing that would have been to see SL with an Orchestra. The man had a touch and talent no one alive has.
By the way, those demos are on a user called SpoonyLeg's youtube page I think. Crazy playing obviously!!
