We bought tickets to see him when we found out he was there, just for fun. He opens for Gabe Kaplan? While Gabe, when he was on was certainly funny, Roger almost blew the walls off the building. He was fantastically funny and of course a lot of sing along. I remember that so well. I had never been a fan really but after that I was. His musicianship was outstanding.

Always a fun and happy memory, thanks for that this morning.

I seriously think he may be the funniest guy I have ever heard. He wasn't what you would expect either. What a treat.
