At your own convenience, Mr. Jinx.

That's the stuff that needs to be written down and published. NSMD and other music related publications would snap up an article like that in a heart beat. Just posting the information here will help. Any time someone Googles, Blaemire, these posts will come up in their search window. Obscure though he may be, Allen made a unique contribution to drum making history. More drummers should know about him and his creations.
I just restore drums, I don't 'create' them from scratch. Jinx, you're more like a hybrid between restorer and creator, Allan was a pure creator. We've all been bitten by the same bug. The only difference between us is our chosen 'specialty'. However, we're not alone. There are a lot of guys with avid interest in anything to do with drums.
Write, Jinx.... write like the wind! It is only fitting that you should be the one to chronical Allen's life and work. You, more than any of us, are one of Allen's True Disciples and torch bearer. You were 'chosen' by the Gods.
Looking forward to hearing more... thanx Jinx!
