Saturday, November 4, 2000-San Franscisco,CA

Hello all you Shane Minor fans. It's been awhile, but here is yet another review. The last of 2000. I flew to SFO the morning of the show.
I knew it would be a very long day because of the time difference, but I knew once I got to the show, the adrenaline would kick in from all the excitement. This show was being held at the famed Cow Palace after the
rodeo. I arrived around 8pm with my friend Julie and her friend Walter,who both went to high school with Shane, I might add. This place was
huge. Besides the arena itself, they had one huge place set up with all kinds of merchandise booths. We saw several flyers posted that Shane
would be signing autographs at the radio station booth at 9pm. That's when I knew, this show was going to be different from most of the others
I had been to. That was only the second time I had ever known Shane to sign prior to a show, rather than after. So, we just walked around
looking for that booth and checking out some of the vendors. One of the jewelry ones caught our eye and we walked over and were looking at some
of the silver. All of a sudden, someone says "Hey" to me and I look up and it was none other than Shane, Jr and Shane's sister Amber. What a
nice surprise. We chatted for a bit, then they left. We found our way back to where Shane would be signing and got in line. Shane finally got
there a few minutes after 9pm. I was very disappointed in the way this was handled. The woman from the radio station was rushing everyone through and even rolled her eyes a few times. Very unprofessional in my
eyes. If there was a time constraint and Shane had to be somewhere else to do an interview or whatever, then maybe they should've had him sign
earlier or something. That was not fair to the fans. However, that's how it was and we just had to deal with it. Shane looked up and saw me in
line and gave me a thousand kilowatt smile. I only had a minute to chat when it was my turn to talk with him, but I got my picture and hug and
off I went. We hung around until he finished and while we were waiting, I saw Susan and ran over to say hello. She was running all over trying
to coordinate everyone. Then Shane was done and he had to go get ready for the show. We were walking to our seats and who did we run into, but
Shane's mom, Judy and Grandpa Ray. We stopped and talked to them for several minutes and walked them to their seats. We talked with them
until Shane went on, which wasn't until about 11pm. Once the show started, we were able to go into the arena and stand in front of the
stage to watch the show. Shane came out and was wearing his black jeans and blue denim shirt. HOT,HOT,HOT. I was not happy with the set up,
though. The stage was actually several feet above the ground, so we had to look up to watch, and Shane was not able to come out into the crowd
like he does so often. I don't know that he would have anyway, since by that time, alot of the people behind us were severly intoxicated. But,
we enjoyed the show, nevertheless. They did all their standards and even did a rendition of "Sweet Home Alabama". Then at one point during the
show, all of Shane's rodeo buddies came out on stage and they sang some country song that I didn't recognize and goofed around some. Shane
didn't really tell any stories like he usually did, it was like he was so removed from the audience. I think one of the reasons was it was so
dark in there, and he couldn't see any of us. I finally met up with Lorie and her friend   Marchelle in the arena, who I had only emailed
before. They were great fun and I only wished we had more time to hang out. Once the show was over, a couple of us were lucky enough to get
backstage to see Shane and the band. They all seemed a bit distracted, though.  I think this whole forum was not something they were used to. I
know I certainly wasn't. All in all, the show itself was ok, but not one of my favorites. As I always say, I like the smaller more intimate
shows. Another thing I always say, It's always great to see Shane, no matter what the circumstance!!! Next up, Bettendorf, Iowa...........

Saturday, September 9, 2000-Monroe, OH

Hi everyone. Once again, I'm sorry for the delay. This show was the Monroe City Fest in Monroe, OH. I flew in that morning and drove the
couple of hours to my destination. Once I arrived at my hotel, I went to the desk to check in. I ran into Jeff and we chatted for a bit. He
walked me out to my car and being the gentleman that he is, he offered to carry my bag to my room for me. We did make a pit stop on the bus
first, but no one was on it. Once we got to my room, we chatted a bit longer. He left and I got ready for the show. Once I arrived, who did I
park right behind? My friend, Michelle, and her "Minor Maniac" friends.We all walked in together and set up right in front of the stage. The
band and Shane were already there and just hanging around. Of course,there was a fence dividing us. I went around and talked with Brian and
Mark, and then I found out Bruce was not at this show. They had gotten Jack (remember Jack?) to fill in for him. It was great to see him again.
Although, I almost didn't recognize him because he had gone blonde!!
Shane came out and a few of us talked to him by the fence. By the time the show started, I couldn't believe how many people that I had met at
previous Shane shows, were there. It was alot of fun. It was time to announce Shane, and the excitement was
building. Then it came, "Please welcome RCA recording artist, Shane Minor!!" That was the first time it was announced that Shane was with
RCA. The crowd went wild.

When Shane came out on stage, he was wearing black jeans and a black shirt with, yup,you guessed it,black boots. Let me just say one word. SEXY!!! The all black attire went over big with the ladies in the crowd. Definately a big hit. During the show, Shane came out into the crowd and sang and also danced with one if the girls I had met previously. He also walked around and said hello to some familiar faces. Shane's sister, Amber, was
watching from the side of the stage. They sounded great!! After the show, while Shane was autographing, I talked with the band and showed
some pictures from the previous week's show. Then, I went and sat down and talked with Jeff and Amber while Shane continued signing. After he
was done, Shane and I talked by the bus for a short while. We talked about the cruise we would be going on the following week. (Look for that
review in the near future.) It was time to head back to the hotel. I just hung out in the parking lot talking mostly with Jeff and Brian
until they were all ready to leave. I also talked a little with Jack, Amber, and Jimmy C, and Tracy. Shane came out and was on his cell phone,
and went on the bus. When they were ready to leave, he came out to say goodbye and give me a hug. It's always bittersweet going to a Shane
show. There's all the excitement leading up to the show, the show itself, and then the time when you have to say goodbye. The only thing
that gets me through, is knowing there will be more shows to go to!!!!And once again, the reason I go to so many of Shane's shows, is that he
and his whole crew are a class act. Thanks to all of them for always taking time out to talk with me. I always appreciate it, and never, take
it for granted. See you all next time........

Saturday, September 2, 2000-Philippi, WV

Hello everyone and welcome back. I finally have a minute to write about my trip to WV. We left CT on Friday morning and got to West Virginia
that evening. My mother and stepfather decided to come with me on this trip and it took us about 7 hours to get there by car.Then we got a good
night's sleep and I spent all day Sat. relaxing by the hotel pool. It was a beautiful day. It was finally time to get ready for the Barbour
County Fair. Shane was performing 2 shows that evening. One at 7pm and one at 9pm. We arrived around 5:30pm. Just as we were walking in, a van
carrying the band was leaving. They had just finished their sound check and were heading back to their hotel to get ready for the shows. Jimmy
C. saw me and waved hello. We proceeded to get our tickets and then I saw Mark and went to say hello. He happened to be talking to Susan and
Melissa whom I had met in Tampa. Small world. Mark and I chatted for a few minutes, and then we decided to walk around a little. When we got
back, I stopped to talk with Mark again. There was a little girl there with her mother and they told Mark that they wouldn't be able to stay
after the show for Shane to autograph the cd they had. They asked if Mark would bring it back to him and have Shane sign it for her. Well,
Mark took the little girl and brought her back to meet Shane and he signed her cd. That was so incredibly sweet. When the little girl
emerged from the back room, she ran to her mom and had the biggest smile on her face. It was great! Afterwards, I was talking to Mark, and Brian
walked by and I waved to him. He waved, but from the look on his face, I could see he didn't recognize me right away. I had worn my new contacts
and I guess it just threw him for a minute. He did come over, and we chatted for a few minutes before he went to double check everything for
the show. I had mentioned to Mark that I would like to say hello to Shane before the show if possible, because I wanted to thank him for all
the kindness he showed me during my husband's illness. Jimmy C. had come out and he finally brought me back about 10 minutes before the show. Of course, Shane was not relaxing by any means, he was talking with everyone and such. I went over and got a great big hug and almost
started to cry. It was so good to see him and finally thank him. I also talked with Amber for a few minutes. There was also a surprise guest
with Shane, his sister Amber. I had only met her once before in Sonora,CA. I know she didn't remember me, but that was okay. I went out and
took my seat and the show started immediately. Shane was wearing blue jeans and a charcoal gray t-shirt. It was one of the few times I had
seen him wear short sleeves. However, it was mighty hot and humid that night, so who could blame him?! They did their normal routine of songs
and of course Shane jumped right into the audience. Well, the little girl from earlier in the night asked Shane if she could walk around with
him. So, he was holding her hand and bringing her around with him the whole time he was singing. It was truly adorable. When he finally
brought her back to her mom so he could go back on stage, she didn't want to let go. Well, I can sure see why. During the show, Bruce did his
clogging, and actually had someone from the audience who REALLY knows how to clog join him up on stage. That was fun. After the show, Shane
signed his autographs and took his photos and talked with the fans. I have never met someone who is as much of a "people person" as Shane. He
is just so wonderful with everyone, young and old alike. I am just in awe sometimes, when I watch him. My mom and stepdad decided to walk
around between shows, and Shane was nice enough to invite me back to the bus for a visit. We chatted for a little bit and then I called my
husband on my cell phone and Shane and Tracy both talked to him. It made my husband's night, but then again, that's just the kind of people they
are. They are always doing nice things for other people without even thinking. When I noticed the time, I realized Shane only had a few
minutes to change for the next show, so I made a hasty retreat. I went and got my seat and the show started shortly after. This time Shane came
out in blue jeans and a long sleeve denim shirt. It never fails to amaze me that each time he comes out for a new show, he looks perfect. There
were a few more people at the second show than the first, and the crowd was a little more rowdy. Tracy was his normal comedic self. He came out
and sat on some man's lap and sang Happy Birthday to him in that "sexy" Marilyn Monroe voice that he does. The crowd was in hysterics, and the
man was a very good sport, I must say. Later on in the show, Tracy sashayed out on stage wearing a "Miss Barbour County" sash. It was
hilarious. I got a great picture of him wearing that and then kissing Shane on the cheek. Talk about prize photo. There was another surprise
guest in the house. It was Bruce's dog. Well, they had him out on stage, and he was barking during one whole song that Shane was singing. Shane
kept laughing and could barely get through the song. It was really funny. Later, Bruce did the clogging thing and had 2 more people come up
and they couldn't even clog, they were laughing so hard. It was a really fun show. Once again, Shane was signing autographs after the show. We
chatted with him briefly, then let him go and do some signing for the fair. I met up with Brian and got our picture together. What a sweet
guy, and ladies, he's single and looking!!! We talked with the band, and then went back by the bus where we got to "meet" Bruce's dog. He's such
a cute little dog. We chatted with Shane for a little while longer before they had to head off to their hotel. Alas, it was over and time
for us to go back to our hotel and get a good night's sleep before the long trip back. It was a great trip and, as always, a fun one. I can't
say enough about the great group of people they are. I hope you will all have a chance to see a show if you haven't already. Now, the only
problem is, I think my stepdad has a "minor" crush on Amber!! Next up,Monroe, Ohio..........
 

Saturday, August 12, 2000-Tampa, Fl

I apologize that this review has taken so long, but sometimes life gets in the way. This show was at The Round Up and I arrived around 8pm.
Shane was scheduled to go on around 10:30pm. I was looking around the club, which was bigger than it looked from the outside, and I happened
upon Mark and Shane Jr. at the merchandise table. They saw me first because I was in a bit of a daze. I had gotten some bad news from home
earlier on and I wasn't in my normal "Shane" mode. I had Mark pull up a stool for me, and I sat talking with him until showtime, which was 2-3
hours. Poor Mark got to listen to me all that time (in between customers, of course). What a great listener he is, not to mention a
great guy. Shane Jr. was walking around with a friend of his, a very lovely young lady. It was too cute. As it got close to showtime, I went
up front. It was too late for me to get my trademark front row since I had been gabbing with Mark so long. It was just as well, since my mind
wasn't on the show. The show started late and Shane came out wearing a white dress shirt and blue jeans. He looked dynamite as usual. They did
all their normal songs, but also incorporated some new cover tunes in the mix. "Listen to Her Heart" by Tom Petty, "The Way I Am" and "That's the Way Love Goes by Merle Haggard, and "Feel Like Making Love" by Bad Company. They did a great job. About halfway through their set, I left the stage area. I happened across Shane's booking agent, Jeff and Susan. I sat with them and we chatted. As I said, I wasn't myself due to the news I had received, and
Susan and Jeff were so wonderful to me. Very supportive. I don't think I would've made it through the night without them. The only other thing I
remember about the show was that Tracy did his imitation of Antoine from In Living Color. The crowd was in hysterics. I swear if he ever gave up
drums, he could do stand up!! I also noticed Shane did not go out and walk through the crowd, which had become a staple of his shows. After
the show, he did do his trademark signing, though. It was there that I met up with a woman named Susan who I had met at Fan Fair. It turned out
that it was her daughter that was hanging out with Shane. What a small world. After Shane was done, he invited me on the bus where we talked.
He also was wonderful to me, although, that is no surprise. A funny thing happened while we were talking, though. The bus started to pull
away!!! Now, I can think of worse things than being stuck on a bus with Shane and crew, but I don't think the rental car company would've been
too keen on me leaving my car in the lot. So, the bus pulled around front, and I got off. Later, at the hotel, we said our goodbyes. I know
I've said before how great these people are, but I just have to mention again how supportive they all were to me. They know what they did for
me, but I also want to say what a great comfort they were to me and they will never know just how much that meant to me. Thank you, everyone. I
appreciate it so much. I will always remember what you did for me that night. Until next time.........................

Sunday, August 6, 2000-Albion, Nebraska

Hello everyone. I'm so sorry this has taken so long, but a personal situation came up that needed my full attention. I finally had a minute
to sit down and write this, so here goes. This show was at the Boone County Fair in Albion, NE. I flew into Omaha and drove the 2 1/2 hours
to Albion. Whoa, talk about small towns. I arrived at the fair grounds at about 4:30pm. The sound check was still going on. I talked with all
the band, Luis and even Shane Jr. Mark, however, was in a mood and barely said more than hello. (I found out much later that it was because
the air conditioner on the bus wasn't working. I think I'd be in a mood, too.) While I was sitting there, someone asked if I was Lynn. I answered
yes and he shook my hand and introduced himself as Jeff, Shane's booking agent. What a sweetheart of a guy. He was really great to me. Then, I
met Brian. (It was Luis' last show and he was his replacement.) He was also a sweetheart. He was taking notes and learning the ropes. I met a
couple of people from one of the other online clubs and we hung out all night. The show started at about 7:30pm with a female singer to open up.
What a great voice and she really revved up the crowd for Shane. Shane went on at 8pm. What a great show. The bleachers were full and the crowd
was totally into it. (I was in the front row,no surprise there.) They did their normal list of songs and what would a show be without Tracy
singing Happy Birthday to someone. Well, this time, it was a man. The crowd was in hysterics. When Shane started singing "Slave to the Habit"
he was walking through the crowd. About halfway through, he came over to where I was sitting. He rested his arm on my shoulder and then proceeded to put his arm around me and just fuss all over me. All while he was singing. Then, Mr. Minor got just a little bit silly and he decided to
take off my glasses and then put them on. Well, I just thought he was going to fall down the stairs. I'm blind without those, so I know how
strong they are. At the end of the song he yells out 'WHOA!!" and then gave them back. It was pretty funny. Shane had Luis come on stage to do
a Mexican hat dance since it was his last show, too. They did their closing song and Shane said goodnight. Well, the band started to break
down and the crowd gave them a standing ovation and Shane was called back for an unexpected encore. Shane came out and thanked the crowd and
then pointed at me and summoned me to the stage. I know better by now,not to refuse, so up I went. He introduced me and said how many shows I
had been to,etc. and hands me the microphone. (what he expected me to say, I have no idea.) He kissed me on the head and I went back to my
seat. They did one more song and it was over. He did his traditional signing and while he was doing that I was talking to Jeff and Brian.
What great guys. I was able to talk with Mark again and he explained about earlier. (All is forgiven). I finally got my time with Shane. We
talked for awhile and got some photos. I talked a little with Tracy and Bruce and Jimmy. Todd and Amber had gone back to the hotel already. I
did speak to them at sound check, though. We all went back to our motel (the only one in town.) and we said our goodbyes. What a great group of
people. They don't come any nicer than this bunch. Tampa's up next....

Friday, July 28, 2000-Oswego, New York

Ok, so now we're in New York. We arrived around 4:30pm. It was only about a 5 hour ride this time. It was me, my hubby, and our best friends, Terri and Tom. It was their first Shane show. We checked into our hotel and had some champagne to celebrate my birthday. Then, we were off to the venue. It was called Harborfest. It was situated all over this town, it was huge. It took us a good half hour to locate the main
stage where Shane was opening for Sherrie Austin. Once we got there, I spotted Shane's merchandise right away, but Mark wasn't there. I guess it was a rule that someone from the fest had to sell the merchandise. He got to relax and enjoy the show for a change. I saw Luis and went over and said hello. Then we went and got our seats. Showtime was 7:30pm and it was just about 7pm. Since we arrived so late, we were somewhat in the back, but I found an aisle seat in the middle. So, they were still good seats. The show started on time and Shane came out in, you guessed it,bluejeans. He was wearing a white dress shirt this time, which is my favorite. Shane looks good in anything, but there's something about the
bluejeans and white shirt combo that I think looks terrific. He only had a 45 minute set, so they only did the more popular tunes. They did get to do Walk This Way though. They sounded awesome!! I just love the outdoor shows the best. (when they aren't under a tent). There wasn't a huge crowd at this show either. At one point during the show, a guy got up and gave Shane a bottle of Jack Daniels and then had him do a shot right there. He did it, but the guy had him do one more. This guy seemed like he was having a party all on his own. In the middle of the show Shane announced that there were a few birthdays. He announced mine and how I was the #1 fan in his fan club and how I'd been to 22 shows and
such. He went on to say that I was a dear friend. Well, that meant more to me than all the birthday presents in the world! Thank you Shane. He then announced it was his sons birthday, too. He turned 15. He then proceeded to have Tracy come out in the audience and sing Happy Birthday to me, again, Marilyn Monroe style. I was so embarrassed. It was so funny, though. I could barely look at Tracy without cracking up. My
husband got it on video, too. I can relive my embarrassment over and over. (And I'm sending a copy to Tracy's wife, too, so she can see what he's really like on the road!! LOL). After that, Shane called Shane Jr. up on stage and he wished him a happy birthday and told him he loved him and then gave him a kiss and a hug. It was a very tender and sweet moment. After the show, Shane did not do his normal signing, but some
fans were lucky enough to go around by where the bus was fenced in and Shane came out and signed for them. We got the VIP treatment and were able to go and visit on the bus and give Shane Jr. his cake. It was alot of fun. They had to go and we found out that once again, we were at the same hotel. How's that for lucky? We went back and said goodbye to them in the lobby. What a week!!! It was incredible. Every time I think I've
had the best time and it couldn't possibly get any better, I'm delighted to find it does keep getting better and better. That's due to Shane and his whole crew. They really treat me special and I love them all for it.Thanks guys, you are all super people. (Except Tracy. Just kidding, he's great!!) That's it for this edition. Stay tuned for the next one when Ireview the Boone County Fair in Albion, NE..........
Wednesday, July 26, 2000-Sidney, Ohio

Hi everyone. Wow, it's good to be back. What a long week I've had. I'm still recovering. We drove about 14 hours to get to this show. It was my husband, me and my 9 year old nephew. He wore me out!! It was at the Shelby County Fair in Sidney, Ohio. We got in Tues. night, (or should I say morning), at about 4am. After a few hours sleep, my nephew and I hit the pool. We were there for about an hour, when who comes strolling by,
but Bruce. We chatted for a few minutes, and then I went and woke up my hubby. He came out and joined us. Then, Jimmy and his daughter came by and sat and chatted awhile. And then, lo and behold, did my eyes deceive me? It wasn't a bird or a plane, but Shane and Susan. They were just passing through to get to their room, they just woke up from the bus.Everyone left because they had to get to soundcheck. We stayed a bit
longer and enjoyed the pool, then it was time to get ready for the fair.We arrived around 4:30 or so. The fair itself was bigger than I thought it would be, but Shane was playing under a tent and it was rather small in there, not to mention hot and stuffy. They had set up long benches in front of the stage. We started off in the 4th row, but ended up in the 2nd row. I chatted with Luis and Mark a bit before showtime, and then
Susan. Showtime started at 8pm. Shane was wearing his trademark blue jeans with a dark blue dress shirt and black boots. Very nice, indeed! I thought they sounded great, but I did think the band overpowered Shane's voice a little. He sounded really good, though. Unfortunately for Shane,half the crowd was an older crowd. About half the tent emptied out because they thought he was too loud. I was very disappointed for him.
Folks, what can I say? A Shane Minor show is not for the faint of heart.He may be a country boy, through and through, but the boy ROCKS in concert!! Shane decided to cut the show a bit short, he only played about an hour and 15 minutes. It was someone's birthday in the crowd and Tracy sang Happy Birthday to her Marilyn Monroe style. It was hilarious.That was a sight to see.(and hear). Afterwards, Shane did his normal
signing. Of course, I was disappointed once again that there weren't more people in line for him. I can't say I understand it myself, but it's their loss. I stood around and ended up talking with a few people I had met at the last Indiana show and some new ones. I love meeting other fans. My nephew had the time of his life and Shane and the band treated him like royalty. He had everyone including Shane Jr., Susan, and Mark
sign his shirt. He was in his glory. Thanks guys!! The bands bus ended up breaking down, and we were able to talk with them quite a bit at the
hotel that night. We even had a few drinks in the bar, and that was worth it all. They were all so relaxed and having a great time. They were goofing off like I've never seen before. My sides were aching from laughing so much. One thing you can say about them, they make the best out of every situation. We left early the next morning for home and got in around 3am. Just enough time for me to make a cake for Shane Jr.'s birthday and leave for the New York show on Friday....................

Saturday, July 15, 2000-Nashville, Indiana

Hello everyone. It's time for another review. I must tell you all that I almost didn't make it to these shows. What with delayed and cancelled flights, an unexpected 4 hour drive, and a speeding ticket, I just had enough time to freshen up and go. However, it was well worth the trip and more. There were 2 shows at the Little Nashville Opry on Saturday night. The first one started at 6pm. Shane was opening for Chely Wright.
I arrived at about 5:30p. I had met some people from one of Shane's clubs right before that and was talking with them, and then I went over and talked with Mark, my sweetheart, and we chatted for a few minutes.
He said Shane would be signing only at the end of the night as far as he knew. Luis made his way over, too and we talked for maybe a minute or two. Then, talk about lucky, somebody was selling front row tickets for the first show. Well, I had my ticket already, but how could I say no to front row? It was time to go in. The band was already on stage,including Amber who tours when she can. They started out with their trademark "I Will Be True".  I have to say that Luis did a great job with the sound. Shane and the band sounded phenomenal. Shane's vocals were clear and right on. The band was having a good time. They were told to keep it kind of quiet because it was an older crowd, so they weren't
able to do some of their more rockin' tunes. They did "A Girl Like That" and Shane played guitar. He seems more and more comfortable playing and singing together. I think it's great. I love to see him pick up that guitar. They also did "I Think You're Beautiful", "Too Much", "Ordinary Love", "Slave to the Habit", "Easy to Believe" and they closed with "Change Your Mind." What a great song. It really haunts me, maybe because of the story behind it. Shane was able to come out into the audience, after he asked first. He didn't want to get in trouble, he said. Someone asked him to take a picture with him because one from last year didn't come out. He put the young girl on his back and took it.
He's so accommodating. It was right after that that he walked in front of me and said hello. He mentioned that it was my 20th show and asked me to stand up. He went further on about how I fly all over to see him,even to LA. After asking me to tell the crowd where I was from and a kiss and hug, I sat down. I was a little embarrassed, but I know that was his way of showing his appreciation, and I have to admit, I enjoyed it. (Oh no, he's created a monster!! lol). It's always nice to be recognized and acknowledged. A little 5 year old girl, I believe her name was Jessica, even gave Shane some flowers. He sat down on the edge
of the stage with her and talked with her for a minute or two. It was a very sweet moment in the show. I ended up getting some great photos since I was in the front row. Shane's time was up and it was time for Chely. I didn't stick around. I went out to the lobby and talked with Mark some more and then I met up with some more fans from one of the clubs. That's one of the best parts, meeting people that you chat with on line. Shane ended up coming out to sign, (much to Mark's surprise),but to the fans delight. He didn't make it through the whole line because he had some other things to do, but he promised he'd be back. I
wandered out to the bus and wound up talking to sweet Jimmy and then Bruce, (I'm still waiting, Bruce.) and then Shane came out and signed for some people out there, too. Poor guy, he never gets a break. I know he loves it, though. He told me he wasn't feeling that good. He looked great, just tired. (He was wearing blue wranglers, a blue denim shirt,black belt and black boots.) While we were standing around talking, a siberian husky came along. Shane called him over and bent down to pet him and "talk" to him. That moment was priceless. Shane had to go do a radio interview or something, so I went back inside to mill about. He came back to sign some more, then it was time to get ready for the second show, which was at 9:30pm. He came out wearing black wranglers and a dark blue dress shirt with the same belt and boots. They sounded just as wonderful as the first show. I was in about the 10th row for this one, and it wasn't the same, but it was still great. There was a point in both shows where Amber did "Orange Blossom Special" and Shane actually sat in the audience. That was cool. This crowd was a bit rowdier, but everyone still stayed in their seats. I hate that. I love to be able to stand and just get into it. It's very frustrating sometimes. The best part of the whole night was at the very end. Shane said his goodnights, and he left the stage, and then proceeded to get a standing ovation. I was so happy to see that. He deserved it. They all did. They all performed beautifully. He didn't know it until I told him later, though. He wasn't going to be signing until after Chely finished this time. I just milled about and ended up sitting behind the merchandise table talking to Mark. I never did see Chely perform. I talked with Tracy, and Todd. I don't know Todd as well as the others,but we seemed to have a little more time to get acquainted. He's a real sweetie. While we were waiting for Shane to come out, there was a 10 year old girl named Kira who was first in line. She was the sister in law of one of the girls I had met from one of the clubs. Well, she asked me if I was Shane's MOTHER!!! I couldn't believe it. I was floored.Shane and I are the same age. Ok, I have him by 9 months, but still.Come on. When he finally came out and was signing for her, I told him what she said. Well, he tried not to laugh, but he couldn't help himself. It was rather comical. He finally finished and was able to give me some time. He sat down next to me and threw his feet up on the table and just relaxed. I thought to myself how tired he looked, and he still wasn't feeling great, but he was so gracious as he always is, and he answered all those questions for the fans on this site. This man is one of THE most wonderful and generous men I have ever had the privelege of meeting. That's one of the reasons I never tire of watching him interact with his fans. I sometimes give him a hard time and bust his butt a little, but I hope he knows I'm kidding. He means the world to me and I'm sure many others, and I count my blessings every day that he came into my life. He's a very special man indeed. Next up, Shelby County Fair  in Sidney, OH and Harborfest in Owego, NY.........................

Thursday, July 6, 2000-Dallas, TX

Here we are, once again. This show was held at Cowboys Red River in Dallas. Showtime was 10:30pm, doors opened at 7pm. We arrived a few minutes before 7 and were the second ones in line. I couldn't get over how big the place was inside, it didn't look that big from the outside.
It was a little too dark in there, too. I was really excited to be there, and one of the reasons was my mom was with me. This was her first Shane show. The first person I saw was Mark, the merchandise guy. I went over and chatted with him for awhile before my mom came over and joined us. The next time you go to a show, make sure you stop and say hello to
Mark. He's the best!!!! (And, he has a nice butt!!) While we were talking, Luis came over and chatted for awhile. Luis is Da Man!!!! He has such a thankless job, but he does it so well. Thank you Luis for all that you do. We also talked briefly with Tracy and Jimmy before showtime. The opening act went on around 9. They were okay, but I
thought they were pretty boring. I couldn't wait for them to be done. I also noticed the accoustics weren't the greatest. It was just so loud,that everything was vibrating. It was finally Shane time!! He came out and was wearing blue wranglers, black boots, and a blue plaid shirt.Now,everyone knows how much I love Shane and how he can do no wrong in my
eyes, but, plaid? It certainly wouldn't have been my choice. Anyway,they put on a very energetic show. They even added 4 new songs to their play list. They were all covers, but I can't seem to recall the names. A certain somebody was supposed to get that info to me (and you know who you are), but didn't. I hope to have it next time. I believe one of them
was "Feel like making love" by Bad Company. I was not having the greatest night. First someone spilled my drink all over me, then one of the bouncers yelled at me for taking photos. He said it wasn't allowed.
I was more than a little mad about that. Then someone stepped on my foot. But, I was still determined to enjoy the show. Again, the accoustics weren't the greatest. Someone said it depended on where you were standing. There were times when it was so loud, that Shane sounded muffled to me. It was not their fault at all. They all put on a great
show and Shane sang beautifully as usual. Even the covers I think he did better than the original artists. He even sang Happy Birthday to 2 different people. What a guy!! They played close to 2 hours which was great. After the show we talked with Bruce and Todd a bit. I wasn't the only one with my mom there, Bruce's parents were there, too. Then, my
mom finally got to meet Shane. She loved him, naturally. Shane was even sweet enough to let my mom see the bus. She was impressed, with the bus,and of course with Shane. Well, with everyone actually, including Susan.
Susan is the hostess with the mostess!!! Even though I didn't like the venue much, it is always worth my time and effort to see everyone. They all treat me like a friend, and I appreciate that so much. Next up,Nashville, Indiana........

Friday, June 23, 2000-Seymour, IN

Hello again. What a great time I had in Indiana. This show was at Fred N Toby's Restaurant/Bar. Doors opened at 6pm and Shane was scheduled to go on at 9pm. I met up with my new friend Michelle and we arrived around 6pm. We didn't know what to expect, but we were expecting the show to be inside. Were we ever off the mark. It was outside in their parking lot.
There was hardly anyone there. We were feeling kind of bad for Shane and
the band. Mark, their new merchandise guy, even said the stage was so small they were going to have to perform accoustically since there was no room for their equipment. When the opening local band went on at 7p,there was still only about 30 people there. There was going to be a talent show at 8pm for 4 people who sing karaoke. Shane and his band
were the judges. After that was done, Shane finally went on. Shane was wearing blue jeans with a brown belt with his silver buckle denoting his 1992 bull riding champonship, a Tennesee Titans jersey, andbrown boots.Well,normally they start out with "I Will Be True". This night, they startedout with "Easy to Believe" and it was only Shane and Bruce on stage.
Shane made a comment like, "Do you like my band?". It was cute, but
Michelle and I just looked at each other like, what is this going to be like. Well, let me tell you, it ended up being one of THE best shows I have ever been to. Shane just turned the whole thing into a "big backyard party" (his words). It was incredible. I think there ended up being about 100 people there by the time they were on. It was so much
fun. Shane spent most of the time in the crowd dancing with women and
taking photos and sitting in lawn chairs. He also did a few shots. They didn't work off a play list. They even took requests. They even had some of the people in the crowd singing solos. During one request, a woman got up on stage with the band and sang with them. It was almost over,and Michelle and I had planned something that we were hoping we could
get Shane to sing. The one song he never performs at his shows is "How
Many Times", and every time someone asks Shane to sing it, he says he doesn't remember it. So, I had the idea to write the words out on a poster board that way he couldn't say he didn't know them. Well, we yelled out that we had a special request and he agreed to sing it. He did it beautifully. Bruce remembered how to play it on his guitar and
even Tracy stayed up there. I don't know why they don't do it , it's
such a great song. I will cherish that memory forever. We thanked him later and he apologized for stumbling through it, but we thought he did
phenomenal. THANK YOU SHANE!!! You made us very happy. He even signed
the poster boards for us later. After the show, Shane didn't even do his
traditional meet and greet because he had met so many during the show.
He did a few, but then he and the band went inside and joined everyone for karaoke. It was so much fun watching them hang out and enjoy themselves for a change, instead of rushing off to their next gig. We even got to hear Bruce do a couple of songs.  He was great. Even Luis was enjoying himself. I knew he had it in him, but it was nice to
finally see. Shane Jr. was there, too. What a sweetie. He takes right after his dad. We just did not want to see the night end, it was so much fun. I have only one thing left to say, if you have not seen a Shane Minor show, then you are doing yourself a serious disservice. You don't know what you're missing!!!Until next time.............

Fan Fair 2000

Hello again. I just wanted to take a few minutes to fill you all in on what Shane was up to at Fan Fair this year. Before I get to that, I just wanted to share a little story about my flight down to Nashville. We had to change planes in Chicago, and who was on our flight from Chicago to Nashville? Mark Wills. That was pretty exciting. I didn't go up to him because I didn't want to bother him, but I made sure I met up with him at Fan Fair. He remembered me from the airport. That was cool. Also, a young lady was sitting next to us on that flight, and she works for Country Weekly. We chatted about Shane the whole flight. She hadn't
heard any of his songs, but by the time we landed she told me she wanted to go out and buy the cd and meet Shane. Okay, so on to Fan Fair. First of all, when I asked him what booths he would be signing at this year,he told me CMT and Mercury. Well, as usual, that changed. I showed up bright and early Monday morning to take a peek at the CMT schedule for the week, and Shane was not on it. Then we looked for the Mercury booth,
they didn't have one this year. So, only through sheer determination,did I find out where he would be signing. He was signing on Wed. 6/14 at the MusicCountry.com booth from 1:30-3:00. He was the only artist scheduled for that length of time. All the others only had one hour. (GO SHANE). We found out that the morning of the appearance, they would hand out tickets for the signing. Then we found out he was also going to be signing at the Country Weekly booth on Thurs. 6/15 from 3-4, thanks to my friend from the plane. They only posted their guests daily, so not too many people knew ahead of time that he would be there. No tickets were necessary. And of course. he would be playing the Opry on Wed.
night. It was only Monday, and it was agony to have to wait until Wed. to see him. We really didn't care to meet anyone else. So, Wed. we got there bright and early to run in and get those tickets for his signing.
We got there around 8am and the gates opened at 9:30am. We got tickets 18 and 19. They were out of tickets for Shane by 9:45am. 15 minutes.
Hello? Does anyone else realize he should've had his own booth? He will next year if I have to pay for it myself!! (Do you hear that Shane?)
Anyway, now we just had to wait until 1:30. He showed up wearing blue jeans,boots and a shortsleeved white pullover shirt. He was looking good. We stayed up front watching for awhile before we got in line.
While we were waiting I had the chance to talk with his son for a few minutes and also Gillie, who is part of his management team. Shane was so happy to see all his fans. I think it really gave him the boost he needed. I didn't get more than a minute or two to talk with him when we went through because they were rushing us through. However, Shane was
nice enough to take a few minutes when he was done to talk with me. Then we saw him that night at the Opry. They were sensational. They did the best of anyone there. They performed "Ordinary Love", "Slave to the Habit" and "Change Your Mind", which he dedicated to his best friend,Taylor Morgan who is a dj for 95.5 WSM in Nashville. He had on black wranglers and a long sleeve black pullover with black boots. He looked
fantastic. Even though our seats were in the back, we were able to go up front during Shane's performance to take photos. The only thing that was a bummer about the whole night was not being able to see him after the show like I'm used to. At least we knew we'd see him the next day. On Thursday we got to Fan Fair around noon. If it weren't for Shane, we would've skipped it altogether that day. We got in line around 1. He was signing with Eric Heatherly and a woman named Jamie O' Neal. You had to go through them to get to Shane. They were both very nice, though. Eric was funny, when he saw the bag I have with the pics of Shane and I all over it, he stood up and threw up his hands and said "I can't compete with him!" It was very funny. Then Jamie asked why I would want pics of Shane all over my bag. (of course she was kidding).Shane started joking around while I was with her and said "What's your name again". He's such a joker. It was a little more relaxed at this booth, they didn't seem to rush you as much. I even remembered to wish him a Happy Father's Day. He didn't finish signing until 4:30, even though he was supposed to be out of there at 4. When he left the booth, he got swarmed. So much so, that 5 of the Fan Fair staff had to encircle Shane and pull him away. That was a sight to see. He was loving every
minute of it. The fans AND the women who had him surrounded trying to get him out of there. This time I only got a minute to talk with him afterwards. Before he left, he went over and hugged Lynn Anderson who was signing. What a sweetheart!!! Hopefully next year Shane will be with a new record label,have his fan club started, and have his own booth. Let's support him all we can!!!!

Friday, June 2, 2000-Shawnee, Kansas

Hey everyone. It's good to be back. I know you're all probably wondering why it says Kansas and not Jacksonville. Well, as everyone knows, the entertainment business is unpredictable. The Jacksonville show was postponed. I had my heart set on seeing Shane, so I made other arrangements, Kansas.  The show was in Old Shawnee Town. It was a fair
type venue called "Old Shawnee Days". The doors opened at 6pm and Shane was scheduled to go on at 8:30pm. I arrived at about 4:30pm. The band was doing a sound check. They weren't allowing anyone in, but we could watch from behind the fence which was quite a distance away. Somehow, Tracy, Bruce, and Jimmy spotted me in the distance and waved hello. You could see people setting up chairs on the lawn, and once they opened up the gates and let everyone in, they said they were reserved. Well, I had met up with some girls from one of Shane's online clubs and we were a little miffed at first. Finally, we sat on the ground on the side of the chairs. We found out a little later that we could sit in front of the stage, which we did.  Well, we watched the opening act, anxiously awaiting for Shane. 8:30 came and went and no Shane. They finally went on about 8:50. Ladies, Shane was wearing a pair of blue jeans(relaxed fit, not too tight. Loose in the legs, just right in the butt!) with a black and sliver belt with a big sliver buckle, a white button down shirt, and black boots. Well, it proved to be a night of surprises.
First of all, they are now short their fiddle player, Amber. That was a big surprise. Then, Shane was introducing his song "A Girl Like That" and he picked up a guitar and played during that entire song and the next one. What a shocker!!! I knew he played, but it's the first time I've ever seen him do it. He always said he didn't play because it took away from his focus when he's singing. Well, you sure couldn't tell. He was awesome!! They may perform the same songs, but every show is so different. It's one of the reasons I keep going back for more. The show was very entertaining. Shane even had a guy come up and attempt to sing a song. He was a little rowdy and wouldn't take a hint when they tried
to get on with the show. He was eventually escorted away by some guys that worked there. There was a really funny segment during the show where Shane asked the guys in the crowd if they'd ever had their hearts broken by a woman. No one admitted to it, so then Shane asked if any women had their hearts broken by a woman. The women screamed. It was hilarious. I think they thought he was going to say by a man. He laughed really hard and said he was going to remember Shawnee.  A little later, he invited 2 girls up on stage with him while he sang "Sliver of the Moon" and attempted to slow dance with both of them while singing. That was amusing. Shane was able to get out into the audience even though there was a fence about waist high. One of my favorite things to do at
Shane's shows is to watch him interact with the crowd. He obviously loves what he does. It shows in everything he does, from the show to the meet and greet. I also love when he introduces the band, and how during their rockin' version of Aerosmith's "Walk This Way" they each get their own solo. It gives them each a chance to shine, and they do. They are
all wonderful musicians. Shane Minor and band put on a very energized show each and every time I see them. They have definately learned the golden rule. "Leave them wanting more!!!". There's never a question, at least for me, if there will be another Shane Minor show to go to. As long as they're out there on the road, I'll be right there with them.
They are also so giving of their time after a show for autographs and pictures. You always leave one of their shows feeling like you've made new friends. I know that's true for me. I consider all of them friends.
Maybe not friends that call each other on the phone, but friends who are always happy to see you when you show up. As usual, I had a blast. Thanks to Bruce,Jimmy, Todd, and Tracy (who will kiss anything as I'm told-lol) for always making me feel welcome. I love you guys!! And Shane, if you ever read this, you know I love you sweetheart!! Well,
that's it until next time. I hope to meet some of you at Fan Fair!!

Thursday, May 11, 2000-Dallas, TX

Hi everyone. I had a great time seeing Shane and band in Texas this week. The first show they did was at Country 2000 in Dallas. Showtime was at 10:30pm and doors opened at 5:00pm. We arrived a little after 6.
We were one of the early birds, but that's always fine with me since I like getting my choice of seats. We were front and center. Were were there about an hour and a half and I saw Luis, Shane's road manager. He came over and said hello and chatted for a few minutes. A little later I went over to talk to Chad, who sells Shane's merchandise. He's awesome.
A real sweetie!! Luis on the other hand is a real meanie. (Just kidding, his bark is worse than his bite.) Seriously, though, he's a nice guy too. He just has a job to do and he gets it done. While we were waiting for the show to start, I was looking at the stage set up and I noticed they were short one microphone. I assumed that they lost Jack since I knew he was only temporarily filling in. I assumed correctly. Jack left and they haven't found the right person to replace him yet. What I didn't know was that T-Bone was also gone. He had a family situation that he needed to attend to and had to leave. They replaced him with
Todd from Kansas City. I, unfortunately, neglected to get his last name.
So, the show was about to start and there was a room off to the side of the stage. I looked up and there was Shane eating what I assume was his dinner. (Nothing healthy, I'm sure). He happened to glance in our direction and we waved. He waved back. I'm not sure if he knew it was me, or if he just saw someone waving and waved back to be polite. The
show started a few minutes later. For all you ladies, he was wearing what looked to be brand new wrangler bluejeans, a green and white Dallas Stars hockey jersey, and black snakeskin boots. What a hottie!! They started off with their normal routine of songs, but it seems that every time I see them, Shane spends more and more time in the crowd instead of on the stage. He really interacts with the fans. It's really great to watch. At one point in the show someone handed Shane his cowboy hat to wear. Shane put it on and performed the whole song wearing it. Nothing against cowboy hats, and maybe it's just that I'm not accustomed to seeing Shane wear one, but I didn't particularly care for him in one.
That's just my opinion, though. At another point in the show, Shane asked what it took to get a shot of Tequila around there. Well, that's all he had to say and the women were buying him shots, myself included.
And just when I thought it would be the same routine of songs, they have added a new one to their song list. I, again, neglected to get the name.
It's a Merle Haggard song, I believe. (Sorry folks, but I do believe the alcohol was affecting my brain by that point.) It was a different show than what I'm used to, what with the new song, and the new bass player, and the lack of a lead guitar player. However, I think they did a great job!!! As Bruce and Shane both said, they are in a transitional period.
I still enjoyed myself just like at every other show. Afterwards, Shane signed his autographs. I didn't watch him all that closely as I was talking with some of the band members. When he was finished, I got to talk with him for about 10 minutes. That is always a treat. Naturally, they had to run to get going to their next show, Jasper, which was the
following day. See the next review!!!

Friday, May 12, 2000-Jasper, TX

It took us about 5 hours to get from Dallas to Jasper. What a beautiful drive. This show was taking place at the Jasper Rodeo. The rodeo started at 7:30pm, doors opened around 6pm. We arrived around 7. We had reserved seating, so there was no need to get there too early. The guys taking tickets couldn't believe we came all the way from CT to see Shane. They had us write down our names and where we were from. We went over and talked to Chad for a little bit, then went in to get our seats. Because it was a rodeo, the seating was set up like stadium seating, only on a smaller scale. We were the second section near the bucking chutes and in the 3rd row. Great seats. The rodeo started off with the bullriding. I
knew Shane would be watching from somewhere since it is still close to his heart. About 5 minutes into it, I saw Shane walking up the stairs to the announcers booth to watch. He was only able to watch about a half hour and then had to go get ready for showtime. Shane and band came on around 9pm. It was a portable stage, so the band and their equipment
were set up behind the scenes. They were then driven in. As they were being driven in, the announcer announced our names, where we were from, and that we were there to see Shane. It was very cool. We also heard a group of girls yell Tracy's name. Looks like he's got a little fan club of his own going. Then Shane came riding into the arena in a white jeep.
They drove him around quickly as he waved to the crowd.Shane was wearing blue jeans with a silver rodeo style belt with a big silver belt buckle, and a blue button down shirt, and boots.
The show started, and the crowd went wild. They only did about 5 songs. But once again, Shane was in the crowd. He was walking in the arena while he sang, and his legion of fans were following him around. It was really quite amazing to watch. He also climbed into the bleachers while he
sang, shaking hands, hugging and kissing. He made a joke before his last song about getting out of everyone's hair, as if he could ever be in anyone's hair. He always puts on such an energetic show, and he always leaves you wanting more. (Hence, the reason I have now been to 15 shows). The white jeep came back for Shane and drove him around the
arena to wave at the crowd before taking him over to sign autographs. We watched him sign for a little bit, then went to the bus to talk with the band. We were able to talk to Jimmy and Tracy. Bruce, Amber, and Todd had left already. Luis was helping to breakdown. Then, we went back up and watched Shane some more. These 3 teenagers sang Happy Birthday to Shane. It was great. He looked over at me and asked if I told them. It was funny. Towards the end, there was a young woman who sang part of "I
Think You're Beautiful" to Shane. He was so flattered. She has a great voice. He was still flocked by more teens who wanted him to go to a party with them. Very cute. We spent a few minutes on the bus with Shane, and then we were on our way. Shane is always so gracious. I don't think the word no is in his vocabulary. He just can't say no to anyone,
especially his adoring public. That's only one of the things that makes him a cut above the rest, but an important one!! Hope you will all come back to read my next review of Jacksonville, FL.

  Friday, April 7, 2000 - Modesto, CA

This show was held at The State Theatre in Shane's hometown. Showtime was 8:00pm with the doors opening at 7:00pm. We arrived a little after 6:00pm and there was already a line formed of about 30 people. You could feel the excitement in the air, as well as hear it, since everyone was talking about Shane being back home. The doors finally opened and
everyone rushed in to get a good seat. It was a full house. We ended up in the fifth row and I was on the aisle,(better for taking photos).

I knew that Shane's relatives would probably be there, including his son.
I was looking around and spotted this handsome young man. He was the
spitting image of Shane, so I thought it had to be his son. The show started right on time. They opened with "I Will Be True". All the young girls in the audience rushed the stage to give Shane flowers and gifts, and some just to get a hug. They did a few more songs, and then Shane told a story about being a teenage father in high school and how his
grades were suffering and in the midst of all that, there was one teacher, Mrs. Johnson, who believed in him and told him he could do anything he wanted to do. If it weren't for her, he wouldn't be standing on that stage. She was in the audience and he came out and gave her a hug. Then he dedicated "I Think You're Beautiful" to her. I can tell
you, I had tears in my eyes. It was very touching. I'm sure it was emotional for Shane to be performing in front of so many people he knew now or in the past. The show continued and they performed all but one track of his cd. (One of my personal favorites, "How Many Times"). They also performed Aerosmith's "Walk This Way" and another tune called "I
Give Em What They Want". They were so great. Shane was even handed a wedding invitation on stage from the bride to be. It was definately a show to remember. He signed autographs afterwards, of course. I was lucky enough in that I met his mom,sister, and son. (The handsome young man I mentioned earlier.), they were all so sweet. I know where Shane gets it from. The band is also so nice, they will sign autographs and
take pictures,too.  It's so nice watching Shane interact with the fans after a show. He really makes everyone feel like they are the only one in the room when he talks to them. He loves what he does and it shows.
That's one of the reasons I will keep going to the shows. I couldn't wait for the next night in Sonora. (see the next review.)

Saturday, April 8, 2000 - Sonora, CA

There were 2 shows being held at The Tuolumne County Fairgrounds in Sonora. The first was at 7:00pm and the second was at 9:00pm. Doors opened at 6:00pm. We arrived at about 4:45pm. They let us in even though we were early. The band was doing a sound check. (Just the band, not Shane.) There were some other early birds there, too. We sat in the 2nd row, but it was off to the left, so we moved to the 3rd row so I could
sit in the center on the aisle. They had some dancers who opened up for Shane, then it was time. The lighting wasn't the greatest, it was very dark in front of the stage. Shane had them turn on the house lights several times throughout the show. During one of those times, he came over to me and had me stand up in front of the crowd and told them how
far I'd come for the show. Although I was a little embarrassed, he was very sweet to acknowledge me.  He brought his mom on stage to help him thank all the sponsors and his family and friends. They did pretty much the same order of songs, but I never seem to tire of them. The reason for that is the great camaraderie between Shane and his band. They have so much fun up there, you can't help but have a good time. There was a
young girl there who told Shane it was her birthday, so he sang Happy Birthday to her while she was on stage with him and we all joined in.
That was really nice of him to do that. That's just another example of how dedicated Shane is to his fans. There was only about a half hour break between sets, and they had to get the 7:00 people out and the 9:00 people in. Unless you were part of the lucky few who stayed for both shows, like me. They made an announcement that Shane would be signing
autographs after the second show and wouldn't leave until every one had been signed. Naturally, the people who were at the earlier show, got in line for that and waited for the later show to be over. A quick change of clothes, and he was back. This time, we were in the front row. That didn't matter much, because we ended up standing in front of the stage.
It was a much rowdier crowd. Someone threw a pair of red boxer shorts with hearts all over them up on stage for Shane. He put them on over his jeans. Someone also threw 2 pairs of women's underwear and T-Bone put one of those on. It was hysterical. The crowd went wild. They just rocked the house. Then, it was time for the autographs, and he was true
to his word. He didn't leave until the last person left, and that was about 1am. What a trooper. If he didn't truly enjoy what he was doing, there would have been no way he could have done that. He smiled and laughed with everyone. Shane is the most genuine person I have ever had the privelege of meeting. You just can't fake something like that. He's
the real deal. Until next time.............
