   "I met Warren through Brian Price, guitar player with my band. He came
down to San Diego to see the band and Brian. Warren sat in and sang a couple of songs with
us and I was totally impressed. So when we started to record “Great Expectations”, I thought he
would be perfect for the song “Why, Oh Why”. We stood around
the piano while he learned the song and a few days later we recorded it. He wasn’t
happy with his performance, so we erased it and came back into the studios a week later to
record the final version. I found Warren to be easy to work with and very professional.
This was the only occasion that I had to work with him. I feel it was a great loss,
particularly since he was just getting to the point in his career when great things were
happening for him. He had a remarkable and unique voice. We all miss him very much." Max
