His Dad set him up in the den with a turntable and a microphone and a small speaker in the kitchen. She became his greatest fan ! That was 60 years ago. Between then and now Allan hosted the first Jazz show on KGVO, Missoula Montana while going to the U of M. He had the number one listened to live show in Vancouver on Saturday nights . "Big Al's Dance Party" dubbed "Memories, Music and Mayhem or "Comedy, Records & Fun". The show outranked the CBC during that time slot. Allan has interviewed everyone from Maynard Ferguson, Cal Jader to Dave Stewart and Michael Buble. He knows his stuff and loves to play his private collection of some 1,000 LP's.
