Dear Roger----

Your cd "Standing, Looking Up" blew me away!!!!!!!!! I already thought you were a very good guitarist and a great composer, but WOW---this f___ing blew my mind! You should promote yourself more as a 'guitar god': you have excellent chops, taste, feel, and melody. Words cannot express how impressed I am. What makes it even more special---I KNEW it was going to be great...just not THIS great. Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
