• Bio

  Roger is well known as the original guitarist in Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefer band. In the early days it was just Jimmy and Roger; two acoustic guitars and vocals. Later, Jimmy added Fingers Taylor on harp, Harry Dailey on bass and Phillip Fajardo on drums. Many people also know Roger as the writer/performer of "Fool for a Blonde" from the classic horror movie "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre," and from the many incarnations of his own bands.
