Allen bought his first banjo from the Crimson classifieds in 1961, and since retiring from civil service in 2001, has devoted himself to folk music in the Rochester NY area. Currently he logs over 200 gigs a year, playing anyplace that’ll have him, from nursing homes to regional festivals, schools, museums, historical societies and concerts. He’s collected six dozen string and reed instruments, most of which he can play passably. He hopes that other H/R ’65 folkies will join him in harmony, to recall our days in the “great folk revival.” |
