  • Volume 3, No. 8 Week of April 19Th, 1965
    Volume 3, No. 8 Week of April 19th, 1965 There must be a special mold from which come all Western Canadian artists and their managers. Not one have we met that * has been overbearing nor positive that their being on earth was for the reason of attain­ ing stardom. Barry Allen is no exception. * Both he and his manager Al Johnson are perfect examples of how to succeed and * still maintain respect for others. A welcome change from some of the overbearing pushy managers and their equally misplaced charges. Barry Allen is talented as his Capitol ,,,..,.__,._ outing "Easy Come Easy Go" Will prove. It all started back in Edmonton on July 29 , 1945. That's when the Allen family welcomed a new son name of Barry. But it really didn't happen until this blonde haired western Canadian youngster reached a height of 5'10" and weighed in at 160 lbs and just happened to be going to high school. His singing and guitar picking made him the boy most desirable for a date but he was too busy playing at the dances. His next step turned out to be a big one. He began to sing with the Wes Dakus group, no slouch­ es when it came to winning a popularity contest. As a matter of fact they topped the polls as "Canada's Top Instrumental Group" (RPM Awards). As a member of the Dakus group he was off to Clovis New Mexico just to play the guitar in a recording session under the direction of Norman Petty.
