Cameron Allan, who died in Memphis on June 25th, crammed an enormous amount into his 58 years, as a musician, film composer, record producer, and documentary fllm producer. This obituary from his friend and colleague Martin Fabinyi is both a memorial and a story of two ratbags who knew much more than they thought.
My friend for 36 years Cameron Allan died a few weeks ago after a long illness, in the Methodist University Hospital in Memphis. Already I miss his old- world manners, his endless curiosity and wonderfully, witty idiosyncratic way of focusing on and rhapsodizing about the most obscure details of everyday life.
