The Rather Magnificent Bert Sommer: Woodstock's Lost Treasure, (Paperback)

<p>New York <strong>singer-songwriter Bert Sommer was just 20 years old when he played his first live gig-Woodstock.

That slight in accuracy was a harbinger of the bad luck to come. <strong>When Woodstock's mud and the dust settled, Bert Sommer was forgotten. </strong></p><p></p><p>Why?<strong> Bert Sommer was left off the 1970 Woodstock documentary and its soundtrack.</strong> It wasn't until missing footage of his song "Jennifer" turned up on YouTube that people took notice. How could this be an unknown Woodstock performer? <strong>Bert could have soared with Jimi and Janis. Instead, he got saddled with a Woodstock curse. </strong></p><p></p><p><strong>Woodstock's Lost Treasure</strong> <strong>has been excavated by a curious rabbit hole-diver in author Sharon Watts.</strong> Bert's once-niche following has exploded with the internet and is eager to learn more. <strong>Author Sharon Watts has discovered nooks and crannies, has collected all the stories, and presents a captivating and impressionistic portrait of the entire life of a talented yet doomed missing puzzle piece to the history of Woodstock. </strong></p>
