1. It's important to have a woman, who helps at home, who cooks from time to time, cleans up and has a job.
2. It's important to have a woman, who can make you laugh.
3. It's important to have a woman, who you can trust and who doesn't lie to you.
4. It's important to have a woman, who is good in bed and who likes to be with you.
5. It's very, very important that these four women do not know each other.

my pretty face or my sexy
body?'

He started out on the trumpet before taking on several instruments, including drums and guitar, both of which he still plays, before choosing THE BASS as his first and main instrument.
Throughout his formative years Rog lived in Los Angeles California, Cleveland Ohio, and Chicago Illinois. While growing up in these Great Musical Cities he witnessed countless performances by many Top-Named Artists from the Jazz, Swing, Blues and Rock Fields which contributed a great many influences to his overall development as a musician. It was while residing in the Chicago area that he acquired his first bass on Valentines Day 1967, at the Ripe Old Age of Thirteen.
Throughout the years Rog has played almost every kind of music Imaginable and has done so at either 'Local Venues' or 'On The Road' in which he has toured 34 States and 3 Canadian Provinces extensively throughout his 40+ year career as a pro bassist, He also resided in the Seattle Washington area throughout the late 70's playing the area and opening venues for groups such as Black Oak Arkansas...Heart...Montrose...Randy Hansen and Many Many Others.
Rog re-located from Billings Montana to the Phoenix Area in early March of 1990. His first few years there he worked in Pro Staging and later, Pro Audio Manufacturing, managing the carpet department at Genz-Benz Enclosures. Thru the mid to late 90's he worked with Phoenix Famed Boot Hiller Band for nearly five years setting down as the house band at the Stardust Lounge in Glendale Arizona.
