I have to say sometime I'm quite jealous of you folks on the other side of the pond...there seems to be a lot of wonderful perfomers over there these days!
I have to agree with you there, Blue - and Roger is one of the best. In fact he's the most naturally talented musician I've ever encountered. Having said that, he's also the most modest and so laid-back he hardly ever asks for a gig, but just waits for people to track him down! That short film is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of his musical ability. For example, when he arrived this morning he said he'd been playing a Beach Boys song on the piano, because it was "good finger exercise"! As I've mentioned on these pages before, apart from his obvious technical expertise and the ability to make it all look very easy, he has a genuine feeling and sensitivity for country blues that I've rarely seen in anyone else - whatever their nationality and ethnic origins.
