   "I met Warren from just being
in different bands in the same circuit around San Diego. He was with a band called Flight
Seven and mine was simply called the Mark Lessman Band. I had Rob Whitlock in my band and used Brian Price every now and then. Warren did perform a
song on the album I released in 1989. He did a beautiful job on it! I was at the studio
getting set up for one of the sessions and had not decided who would sing the song yet
until I saw Warren walk in. I grabbed him and took him into where the piano was and showed
him the tune and asked him if he liked it and was the key alright for him. In his
wonderful leave it to beaver way, all he said was “Oh goody, when do we start”.
When we recorded it he asked if it would be okay if he jammed a bit at the end and what he
did gives me goose bumps to this day. He was a good hearted guy with a great talent. We
all miss him." Mark Lessman
