I just learned of Allen's passing. I'll never forget him and the impact he and his music had on me. I was a Saturday night regular at the LSnB in north Austin in the late 70s. Allen was performing with Miss Vicki, and frequently Tim showed up, as well as a posse of other characters ... That was my socialization as a transplanted Texan. Eventually I learned to say shiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit in six syllables - earned my boots


I was usually in the company of one sports trainer and his buddy, a local cop.

Tim, I need these songs.
