  1. Very nice for you to remember Allen. Was lucky enuf to have seen him w/ ABB & Mule more than a couple times. Met him a few time also. What a kewl guy. Genius bass player. The reformed ABB w/ Allen & Warren was a monster live band. The band did a tribute onstage last yr @ The Greek LA during No One Left to Run With. Used video of Allen & Duane to put them back onstage w/ The Brothers. One of the highlights of a fantastic show. Miss u Allen
