Austin State University as a music major, were he learned even more about music, theory, and the preparing of "Jungle Juice". Alan says, "If there?s an ice chest of Jungle Juice, there will be an audience to play for." At SFA he made many friends, and some turned out to be famous like, Stevie Ray Vaughn, that used to come to Nacogdoches from Austin, and Alan would open for him at the Cross Roads.
