ONE THAT GOT AWAY

He was bound to make it big. It was 1979 and he had everything going for him - talent, good songs, a great band, two classic RCA albums in his past and a new Epic record about to break. Then...Nothing...Gone... but not forgotten. He was the glam "Whizz Kid", the young american of "Imagination Quota" and the assured rocker of his self titled third. He was David Werner.

There has been no official music from the man since the 1979 tour. When he hit The Whisky in L.A. on October 3, 1979, the tapes where rolling for a possible live release that ultimately became a Demonstration Not For Sale promo record produced by Epic in conjunction with WBCN, Boston (of which I was a proud member).

Here are 5 cuts from David Werner Live (Megaupload 320KBS 48.02MB MP3), including the amazing Mark Doyle on guitar!

What Do You Need To Love

Can't Imagine

Death Of Me Yet

Every New Romance

Aggravation Non-Stop

It still baffles me that people of such talent just disappear from the public view - I guess it's even better than burning out or fading away. We miss you David. I hope you enjoy this rarity and I look forward to Saturday,
