==Early life==
He was born in Zona, Louisiana which was later incorporated into the town of Bogalusa, along the Pearl River which forms the lower part of the boundary between Louisiana and Mississippi. His father was a sharecropper and heavy equipment operator. The family moved often to go wherever there was work. He began playing guitar about age 9, taught by his father. The family moved to northern Indiana, where he completed high school. He then joined the Air Force and was stationed in Hawaii as an aircraft mechanic. His guitar playing served him well in the Air Force, where he won a talent contest and performed on a popular live radio show called ''Hawaii Calls'' out of Waikiki Beach.〔 In 1958 he was transferred to another base in Omaha, Nebraska where he played guitar in night clubs 6 nights a week. His nickname was "Red". He began using the name "Red Lane" at this time to avoid problems with his superiors at the Air Force base, and the name stuck. After military discharge, he played guitar across the U.S. in several states but had to do farm labor to make ends meet. At one time, he lived under a bridge in Phoenix, Arizona when he couldn't afford rent.〔 In the early 60’s he took up songwriting, being inspired by the writing of Willie Nelson. He became acquainted with Justin Tubb who hired Lane to play in his band and arranged getting some of Lane's songs to Nashville’s Buddy Killen, of Tree Publishing Company. Killen facilitated Lane's move to Nashville and signed him as a staff writer in April, 1964. Just over a week after moving to Nashville, Lane appeared on the Grand Ole Opry with Tubb. Lane said, "What do you do after you've reached all your dreams in 8 days?"〔 A year later, Lane won a BMI songwriting award with the hit song “My Friend on the Right” recorded by Faron Young. Today, at the Sony/ATV building writers' quarters where young songwriters sketch out songs, Red Lane's portrait now hangs.
