  • Summer Delight

    This show is giving me that summer feeling even though I’m sitting at a desk under bad office lighting in high rise downtown LA. Allan is great guide through corners of LA that deserve our attention and appreciation. I love the ambient noise of the crunchy dirt and gravel underfoot that provide a satisfying soundtrack for these fun and funny conversations with friendly and interesting Angelenos.
