Wow! When Roger called and said he had a pass waiting for me at (I thought!) a whorehouse, I was real excited.  But an even better treat was to hear Roger and a top notch band and cast perform the Broadway musical hit "the Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" Man what a show! Rogers' tone and execution was exceptional, and it was by far one of the best evenings of musical entertainment I've ever had. Perfect balance by sound crew and a Super cast. Roger is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet and has become a good friend in last cpl years. The show will be in LeNoir N.C. Sat eve at the college I believe. Check Ticket agent for exact location and times for tommorows show. Tell Roger Hi when you get there, Skip
Thanks again Roger |

Rumor has it that Roger hangs out around the Whorehouse regularly. He usually pleases everyone with his performance too. Way to go Roger, you @#$%^&*().

That's a fun show to do, 63 pages of music.
I did it in 1989.

Thanks for the nice words, Skip - it was good to see you, and I'm very happy you enjoyed the show.
I continue to enjoy playing this show every time I do it - even two straight months od dates hasn't dulled my enthusiasm! The ARE distractions on all sides, as you might imagine, but I do my best to maintain decent intonation....
Here are the final dates:
2/28 - Avon Park, FL
3/1 - Punta Gorda, FL (please see my other thread)
3/2 - St Petersburg, FL
3/3 - Panama City, FL
3/5 - Athens, GA
3/6 - Savannah, GA
Then we fly to Los Angeles to do seven shows at the Kodak Theatre (where the Oscars are tonight) between 3/9 and 3/13.
Then I can get back out on the golf course in Naples......
I still hope to see some of you on one or other of these dates - there's a lot of steel in the book (63 pages, as Vernon says!), and we have a very steel-friendly sound-man in the excellent Allen Saunders.
Best,
Roger R.
