Thread Name: Roger Whittaker what's he doing nowadays
Subject: RE: Roger Whittaker wahts he doing, nowadays
Hey, John9. He is one of the best known people over here I've never heard. The only reason I recognize his name is that a couple of people have told me I look and sound just like him. Yeah, I look a lot like Peter Lorre, too. I guess because I have a moustache, my hair is greying, I play guitar and sing folk music, that makes me a near-clone. He's also a baritone, as I understand. Out of curiosity, I did see a CD of him in a music store, and I suppose after a few bears, from a distance in a dimly lit room, he could look vaguely like me.

That said, I've never heard him, or until this thread ever heard another Amurican folk singer even mention his name. Clearly, some folks know him over here, but to say he is "well-known" is probably a slight exageration.
