Jeff Carlisi was next door neighbors with Allen Collins and Carlisi and Collins were the best of friends. They used to practice guitar at Allens house. Jeff Carlisi was also friends and neighbors with the VanZants. He and Ronnie VanZants brother formed ".38 Special" in 1974. Jeff recalled in an interview that he used to ride his bike to Allen's house and it was only feet away from his 'koz they were next door to each other from their back yards. Allens dad used to BBQ alligator steaks and Allen also loved potato fritters they call 'puppies' down south and he liked cole slaw. I talked to another one of Allens friend on faceb**k who was Allen's pall bearer 'koz Allen's parents knew this other guy was his best friend, too.

Both of Allen Collins's 2 best friends grandparents were from southern Italy (they were southern Italian-their grandparents were- which means they both were southerners in the US and southerners in Italy, too).
