My condolences go out to Russ and his family. I had the pleasure of meeting Roger a few years back at the ISGC. He was a great guy. May he RIP.

So Sorry to hear this. I got to meet and know Roger a few years back when he came down to play with Russ at a Gig I booked them to play locally. Roger spent a couple of nights at our home and we sure enjoyed his company. RIP Roger. Russ so sorry for yours and the Hicks family's big loss.

Thankfully I got a chance to see those two play together last year. I'll never forget how Russ introduced him by saying that between the two of them "Roger is the better singer... by a little bit".
