There are a few tasty morsels of information, including his technique back in The Byrds heyday for avoiding over-anxious fans:

Thanks, Simon! Much in that interview that I hadn't read before.

I'm seeing Roger this Wednesday--9th November...can't wait....Does anyone know, on this UK tour, if he's playing with the Ric or the Martin....or bit of both

David, I wish I could be there too! You are in for a treat, that's for sure. I haven't seen any reports about Roger's UK tour, but there's a great report posted about one of his Netherlands gigs:

From reading that, it sounds like Roger is primarily playing his Martin 7-string interspersed with a stock 360/12 (not his 370/12RM signature model). Could you please post a write-up of your experience after you see him on Wednesday? Thanks!
