Question
Can you tell me where or what happened to Allen Kemp and Patrick Shanahan originally in the Soul Survivors and most recently until 1982 or so with the Riders of the Purple Sage I think.

Thanks

Answer
Hi Lani,

Allen Kemp passed away in June, 2009 of cancer (yeah, just recently) at the young age of 64. Information on NRPS drummer, Patrick Shanahan, was more elusive. As per all information I have encountered, he seems to be alive and well.

Hope this helps. Thanks for the question.

However, if you want to know who recorded what, when, and how did it on the charts, I can help you with anything from 1944 to 1996. I may also be able to help you with many uncharted tunes, songs that Bubbled Under, and some 60's songs that played in Asia. I can also advise you on audio software, creation and editing of digital files, etc. Throw it at me and see if it sticks!
