Thread Name: Roger Whittaker what's he doing nowadays
Subject: RE: Roger Whittaker wahts he doing, nowadays
I know what you mean, Jerry. People used to tell me I sound like Ed McCurdy. Within recent years, they tell me I sound like Gordon Bok. I don't really think I sound like either of them. The common denominator is that the three of us are basses.

Roger Whittaker. Very pleasant, very listenable, but he'll set the teeth of any hard-core folkie on edge. He's sort of "folk-lite," songs for people who don't know much of anything about folk music.   He plays well, sings well, and I kinda like him, actually. But I consider him "The Lawrence Welk of folk music."
