Lonnie Mack

I´m still introducing Lonnie´s music to my younger relatives. He was one of my heroes, the other was Mickey Mantle. That´s the only two.

Got to know Lonnie in the 1980s, though I knew of his music since the 1960s. Considered him a friend thereafter. Was glad to be able to support and help him and his family in any way I could. Same goes for my late Dad, whom Lonnie absolutely loved. Lonnie drove up to Pennsylvania from Nashville when Dad was dying in 1996.

Summer of '63. What a breath of fresh air in the name of LONNIE MACK !

I Absolutely Loved and still Love Lonnie. Greensburg IN. His Sister lived behind my Family, he came to see his Sister and I was 8 and my 2 oldest Brother's jammed with him and was I in AWE then, after If ound out who HE was. I play many styles and instruments but I still have a little Lonnie in me from owning all of his LP'S. I sure do miss the Man, he was a very nice man and a Hell of a Guitar Slinger/Great Singer from his SOUL and I think we Lost a True GENTLEMAN. I'm 61 now. Randy
