I knew nothing about him until yesterday when Dave Stryker posted this video on Facebook with the comment "One of the greatest guitarists ever". Billy Rogers was a legend among guitar players and musicians around the Midwest. After he died, some four-track demos were discovered in his apartment. From these demos the guitar track was isolated and a rhythm section played along with, resulting in the CD "The Guitar Artistry of Billy Rogers".

A mutual acquaintance took me over to Billy's place one time to burn something green. Billy had the tv on and a guitar in his hands, and for the entire visit we were there conversing with him, he was simultaneously playing his rapid Bensonoid licks over whatever music came through the tv -- commercials, underscoring, whatever -- never missing a change. The only time he ever stopped picking was to pass the pipe.

is the Buffet family. The connection is Buffet's wife, who later in
life became a part time jazz singer and connected with these Ohama based
guitarists.
