Roger is the original guitarist of Jimmy Buffett's Coral Reefer band. In the early days it was just Jimmy and Roger. Two acoustic guitars, and vocals. After a year on the road as a duo, and with the success of a hit song, Come Monday, it was clear a band was needed for the bigger venues they were playing, so Jimmy added Greg "Fingers" Taylor on harmonica and keyboard, Harry Dailey on bass and Phillip Fajardo on drums.
