Since I am a bit reluctant to spew about myself--maybe I am not sure what to say, I will let my friend Alfred write a bit about me.
"The Gary 'Wheaties' Allen that I know is a generous soul searching for perfect powder snow and sweet guitar tone. Whether changing from 6-string to 12-string, acoustic to electric, one boutique tube amp to another, Wheaties has a passion for music. Over the years, this creativity has led to songs like 'God Bless My Underwear' and 'The Candy Bar Song' that entertain himself as much as the guests who continue to ski with him year after year. And, since this has happened to me in a lesson, you are just as likely to hear them being sung by random guests getting in on the fun. Traditional blues and gospel are his favorites to sing around a porch and summer breeze and entertaining the party is a 'no brainer' to Wheaties."
"A 'Morning Mentor' for years at Deer Valley Ski School, Wheaties' 8:00am first chair clinics often have his attendees hop-turning to stay warm down Solid Muldoon! What a great way to warm up as I have taken these clinics myself several times. A master teacher and master crafter of ski-turn shaping, Wheaties is one of the most creative teachers with a bag of tricks bigger than Santa's!!"
"A heart of gold, childish smile, and wisdom deep like the ocean sum up Gary Allen to me, and I have known this character since 1990 or so when I first moved to Park City. I feel like as good a source as any to tell you about Wheaties because he is one of my best pals as well as a direct inspiration for my guitar playing."
