about miles of coastline, haunting wetlands, unique wildlife, colorful politicos & people, has all

        "Rog Lee is Old Florida's unofficial bard. Lee combines down-home guitar picking, a grizzled and

soulful voice, a sly sense of humor and a strong environmentalist consciousness to create his folk songs. Lee's songs evoke smiles, sometimes a melancholy sigh--sometimes both at the same time."

             "With his unique stage presence, good voice and skillful guitar playing, Rog Lee captured the packed house with his extremely well crafted original song.Humorous and yet profound, “Florida,” a song by Rog Lee expresses his feelings regarding the over development of his home state. Rog has other well crafted extremely entertaining original songs. It was by far the most memorable and compelling song of the evening and other con certs."

Rog's gift is in his writing. His music themes remind us of what makes us special.

     His love of the environment, his home and his family come through in his words and music.

     I have listened to many in our community who make wonderful music, but Rog's is special.

     He is our community's troubadour.” /p
