I'm just radiating all kinds of love and happiness into the world fueled by your powerful voice. Up comes two of my most favorite tunes, "Bouncin Back" and "Key to My Kingdom." Roger, I swear, your awesome voice gives me chills and my eyes well from the joy fillin up my soul. It sure don't get no better than this! Listening to your CD was but a quick fix. I'm jones-in to hear you live. I'll be hunting you down soon! So thanks for being a light in my life. I love you Buddy.- Lynne
