This profile will be a little different than my earlier ones. I sent interview questions to Johnny Allen and he recorded the questions and his answers on YouTube. It's about 30 minutes long but I think it is interesting.
The “interview” gives a little history about Johnny's early musical ventures and the different bands and genres of music. We address some changes in the music business and well, have a listen…
Johnny Allen's video response to my interview questions. From his early music start to current projects. In my opinion it's an interesting 30 minute video.
Another interesting fact? Johnny Allen's drummer and brother Michael and I competed for class president at Beech Grove High School waaaaay back in 1985. It wasn't much of a competition. Mike kicked my butt. But he made a great class president.
