There are at least 3 or four solid tunes on this CD.
I like the piano stuff, especially "I Wish it Would Rain" -- (?)
That one has such a happy 70's pop vibe, really a "feel good tune". Very
Brady  Bunch.

There's one song that sorta freaks me out a bit, as his vocals sound so much
like Karen Carpenter's... very strange-almost creepy.
Yet, the song is great! I also dig the fact that he stole a piece of
"Somewhere Over the Rainbow", on purpose -I'm sure.

And on the topic of Roger's vocals -- when he kicks into the barber shop
harmony's, it's like Les Paul and Mary Ford all over again, or "Hot dog,
sounds just like an organ!" 5th's and 7th's everywhere at once!
The guy has an uncanny ear for precision vocals in this way.

I'm very much enjoying this CD so far (oops, but of course it's not out yet)
:)
