  RICK ALLEN WITMER_BIOGRAPHY
Rick's musical journey began in Valley View (a rural community near Bellefonte, PA) at age 6, when his father wrote chords on a sheet of paper and Rick went off to a corner of the house to learn them on his baritone ukulele.
Rick led the way once again with his musical arrangement ability, as strong vocals were still the mainstay of this project.
While Rick grew up listening to a wide range of music, his musical preferences have always gravitated to the mainstream sounds of the era in which he is experiencing at that moment in time.

 Rick Allen Bio
Rick joined Def Leppard at the age of 15, right before the band signed their record contract.
He lost his left arm in a car accident in 1984, but this didn't stop him from being a drummer; with the help from a (semi-)electronic drum kit, Rick became "a better drummer than he was when he had two arms" (as said by Joe Elliott).
The uniqueness of Rick Allen's drumkit has been well documented over the years; foot pedals trigger the sounds that most drummers make with their left arm - the one Rick lost in a car accident in 1984.

Warrior poet Rick Allen spent the last year of his life battling cancer with a hope-filled attitude, during which time he also accomplished his life-long dream of finishing and recording his bardic-style poetry.
Before he passed, Allen entitled this collection "Inconstant Bard" a title given in olden times to a breed of bardic poets, whose lives were dedicated not only to the writing of poetry, but to being warriors who championed the cause of liberty.
As soon as I started listening to Rick Allen's voice, as he read his poetry, it rekindled those memories of learning, and this CD brought to life again the imaginings in my mind of an Ireland that once was -- happier, wilder and freer than today.
