He began playing in bands at the age of 13 in the 1960s, with his first gigs held at school dances and the local Boys’ Club.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the early ’70s, while playing with the local rock band Synergy, Sudduth learned about record production — a path that deepened when Sudduth landed a position at a studio in San Francisco.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I loved recording, so I applied for a job at \u003ca href=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/2016/11/10/hyde-street-rock-how-wally-heider-and-the-tenderloin-shaped-the-san-francisco-sound/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Wally Heider Recording\u003c/a> in San Francisco, which was one of the top places in the world at that point,” Sudduth says. “I wanted to produce, and I wanted to learn enough engineering to be able to communicate with a real engineer. But it became my career.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5FFiqqsw-s\u003c/p>\n\u003caside class=\"aligncenter noborder\">\n\u003ci>The Imposters “Don’t Get Mad,” produced by Allen Sudduth\u003c/i>\u003cbr>\n\u003c/aside>\n\u003cp>Sudduth went on to become an in-demand studio engineer at Wally Heider, and at Prairie Sun Studios in Cotati, working with local luminaries like John Fogerty and Tom Waits. He spent so much time in recording studios that he met his wife in one: for the recording of a “live” \u003ca href=\"http://www.roy-rogers.com/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Roy Rogers\u003c/a> set, Sudduth set up a bar and invited 40 people to watch the performance. One of the people who showed up became his wife. (The music bug even caught his kids: his 31-year-old daughter Laura is a singer/actress in New York, and his son Ben, 28, is a musician and analyst for Pandora.)\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As the years went on and the studio business declined, Sudduth pursued less engineering work and started his own business. Today, he still does some studio work, but “I’ve just done sessions that I \u003cem>wanted\u003c/em> to do,” he says, “and I’m much happier that way,” Sudduth says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At his house in Coffey Park, where he lived for 35 years, he also kept a set of vintage drums and a collection of reel-to-reel tapes from past sessions, including all of Synergy’s master recordings. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There was even a great live tape, but none of that exists anymore,” Sudduth says.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13813990\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 800px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/Laura-Sudduth-finds-a-pair-of-dimond-earings-she-recived-in-the-eight-grade-amost-the-remains-of-her-childhood-home-in-Coffee-park-800x533.jpg\" alt=\"Laura Sudduth finds a pair of dimond earings she recived in the eight grade amost the remains of her childhood home in Coffey Park\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-13813990\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/Laura-Sudduth-finds-a-pair-of-dimond-earings-she-recived-in-the-eight-grade-amost-the-remains-of-her-childhood-home-in-Coffee-park-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/Laura-Sudduth-finds-a-pair-of-dimond-earings-she-recived-in-the-eight-grade-amost-the-remains-of-her-childhood-home-in-Coffee-park-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/Laura-Sudduth-finds-a-pair-of-dimond-earings-she-recived-in-the-eight-grade-amost-the-remains-of-her-childhood-home-in-Coffee-park-768x512.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/Laura-Sudduth-finds-a-pair-of-dimond-earings-she-recived-in-the-eight-grade-amost-the-remains-of-her-childhood-home-in-Coffee-park-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/Laura-Sudduth-finds-a-pair-of-dimond-earings-she-recived-in-the-eight-grade-amost-the-remains-of-her-childhood-home-in-Coffee-park.jpg 1920w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/Laura-Sudduth-finds-a-pair-of-dimond-earings-she-recived-in-the-eight-grade-amost-the-remains-of-her-childhood-home-in-Coffee-park-1180x787.jpg 1180w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/Laura-Sudduth-finds-a-pair-of-dimond-earings-she-recived-in-the-eight-grade-amost-the-remains-of-her-childhood-home-in-Coffee-park-960x640.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/Laura-Sudduth-finds-a-pair-of-dimond-earings-she-recived-in-the-eight-grade-amost-the-remains-of-her-childhood-home-in-Coffee-park-240x160.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/Laura-Sudduth-finds-a-pair-of-dimond-earings-she-recived-in-the-eight-grade-amost-the-remains-of-her-childhood-home-in-Coffee-park-375x250.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/11/Laura-Sudduth-finds-a-pair-of-dimond-earings-she-recived-in-the-eight-grade-amost-the-remains-of-her-childhood-home-in-Coffee-park-520x347.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Laura Sudduth finds a pair of diamond earrings she received in the eighth grade amidst the remains of her childhood home in Coffey Park. \u003ccite>(Estefany Gonzales)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003ch2>Grabbing One Guitar\u003c/h2>\n\u003cp>When the fire hit his home in the early morning of Oct. 9, Sudduth and his wife jumped in a car and drove south to a sister’s house.

She yanked them violently; they yelped, but they came. They ran to her husband’s car as the air filled with burning pieces of broken branches, twigs and smaller embers. The wind was whipping down on them, seemingly from all angles.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As they drove down the hill, burning projectiles bounced off the vehicle. Clementine could smell the odor of her own singed eyebrows, and feel her chest dotted with small burns from the airborne embers. As her husband weaved through the chaos, they passed two burning cars and multiple roadblocks on the other side of the street before they got to the highway. As they slowly made their way south with hundreds of other cars on the road, they knew their home was no more.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_13813028\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 960px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-13813028\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/arts/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/10/ClementineStreetGone.jpg\" alt=\"The street where Clementine Lee and her family lived. \" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/10/ClementineStreetGone.jpg 960w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/10/ClementineStreetGone-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/10/ClementineStreetGone-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/10/ClementineStreetGone-768x576.jpg 768w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/10/ClementineStreetGone-240x180.jpg 240w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/10/ClementineStreetGone-375x281.jpg 375w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2017/10/ClementineStreetGone-520x390.jpg 520w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The street where Clementine Lee and her family lived. \u003ccite>(Clementine Lee)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Later, after the family settled in at Brian’s parents home in Rohnert Park and things had quieted down, two-year-old Leonidas looked up at Clementine and said, “Mommy don’t worry.

Hit hardest was the downtown area, and the city has never been the same: ugly ’70s concrete brutalist architecture rose up from the rubble, and the downtown core was bisected by a giant imposing shopping mall, giving everybody something to constantly complain about ever since. You’re not a true Santa Rosan if you don’t.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This is different — far more destructive, far more unimaginable. Nobody will grouse about this one for style points.
