Agreed that Roger looked a little clumsy in '82 and '89, but i gotta give
him credit, he obviously worked at it and when I saw him playing acoustic
guitar during Who Are You in '96 I was pleasantly surprised.  It wasn't
just the usual lead-singer strumming, 'Look at me, I've got a guitar
around my neck'" kinda thing, he was actuallyshowing some considerable
skill and playing some interesting lines.  Watch out Pete!
