Title: Pete Ham
Post by: 2 of 3 on April 24, 2016, 10:01:20 am: Most people know the sad story of Badfinger. After Pete Ham died, his estate released a couple of albums of Demos that showed what could have been. It amazes me that some of these songs didn't make to Badfinger albums. Everybody got their turn in that band. I'm not saying the other members of the band weren't good songwriters, but Pete Ham was on an entirely different level. The guy knew melody. He knew how to play guitar. Damn that 27 Club. Grrr.

A demo from 1967 that finally made it to an album in 73.
