THINKING OF ROGER A LOT NOW THAT TH E 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE STONEWALL JACKSOM JUBILEE IS UPCOMING. THINKING OF HOW WE DISCUSSED WHO WOULD SING TENOR AND WHO WOULD SING THE LEAD ON SOME SONGS WE WERE ABOUT TO DO. HE REALLY DIDN'T CARE MUCH FOR THE "OLD TIME" MUSIC WE DID, BUT HE DID IT AND ENTERTAINED THE AUDIENCE JUST TH E SAME.
Ah, that really gave me a grin this morning! I remember Rog trying to teach The Flood to harmonize. David had a pretty good ear for it, but trying to get blockheaded Bowen to sing anything but the lead was like trying teach a fish to drive a fire truck. Bless his heart, Roger was patient. :)
