Jon Paget: Fool's Reprise - great performance

Jon Paget https://www.facebook.com/jon.paget.58

The basic rhythm here was the intro / outro to an unreleased Sanctus Sabbata song called "Fool's Lair" - "Fool's Reprise" is an acoustic mutation (lol). The dedications are to my father Walter (Tony) and Jason Van Horn (great friend and dedicated crewmember). Fool's Reprise was released on the Audioize "Venutian Groove" CD. Both Audioize CDs are currently out of print, but I think they'll be re-released soon! Jon Paget http://www.youtube.com/user/Audioizeproject

Fool's Reprise


Jon Paget's stunning song for the late Shawn Lane... always with me...


Jon Paget
Me and Merlin are off to Memphis soon to be with my favorite Pixie Girl Mitzi and commemorate Shawn. I get to see Diane and Jamie and Lexy and Tina, Craig and Sean and Barry, and all the others who were touched by Shawn. Sometimes memories are all I have, when I'm lucky I get to make new ones. Sometimes I'm a very lucky bum -

Laurie Monk:
Shawn Lane is gone...
He won't be back again
His music was from the heart
His playing from the brain...
Thanks for a great tribute, moves me to tears every time I hear it.

Mitzi Lane

Alex Masi remembers, "This entity that appeared out of nowhere and almost materialized but not quite... Shawn Lane, one of those mysteries that are made all the more mysterious by their transcendental qualities that place them halfway between dream and reality. Playing guitar for Shawn wasn't necessarily the ultimate goal as much as it was a 'symptom' of his being... somebody said that he could have done great things in pretty much any field he decided to tackle, and I believe that as well... his vast knowledge of so many varied subjects is now the stuff of legends, and it's all true. Sure, he was the supreme beast on the guitar but he was in a category created uniquely for him and never to be acccessed again by other players. There will never be another Shawn Lane, just like there will never be another Van Gogh. It wasn't the speed, the choice of notes, the touch, the tone, the vibrato, the fact that he could blaze on the piano, his photographic memory, his superior intellect, his oblique sense of humour, his childlike kindness... it was all these things - plus that elusive quality that placed him in that strange area located halfway between dream and reality." Volume II feature contributions from Roger Staffelbach, Torben Enevoldsen, Masi and Patrik Carlsson, among others. Instrumental Guitar (Electric (Heavy)/Fusion/Shred), total running time, 63:04
