Allen was one of the coolest musicians around here!
One of the few who embraced my musical vision and tried to help me make it a realization for the public.
That sadly did not come to fruition, but I am blessed to have known him and been able to hang out and jam with him...

I've known you for a long time. It's been at least 20 years since we've seen on another. It's been a real pleasure to have been your friend.
You will always be in my Heart and in my Memories.
In Loving Memory
