15 years as a senior entertainer.  
Guitar, etc. - vocals – humor and more!  
 
   
Professional entertainment since1966, from Maine to Key West. Fl.
Full time musician/vocalist/ humorist/ entertainer, who has performed at many, many senior  facilities in the southeastern New England area... 
For a senior audience, will run the gamut with lots and lots of material, performing real oldies, from traditional sing-a-longs, to the Andrews Sisters, Mills Bros.,
Frank Sinatra, Elvis, the 20’s, 30’s, 40’s, 50’s, 60’s, and more!   He even presents a few “senior friendly” modern tunes on occasion
Themes are fun…    Think about a wonderful selection for Christmas and other holidays such as, Halloween, Patriotic &  4th of July.
 

 Old Western theme
The right western songs & attire, get out the cowboy hats  we'll all wear them!

 Try a 40’s Sinatra,  Andrews sisters  or  50’s theme or Elvis theme or patriotic theme..

  Plan ahead and I will bring my ukulele and some Hawaiian songs to add to the mix. 
We can do the Hawaiian Luau, in winter or summer.
Cookouts in the summer are always enjoyable!

Irish - St. Patty's day is a lot of fun with real traditional Irish music...
I have enough Irish music for at least 3 hours.
In the past I played Irish pubs and that repertoire serves me well even today with a collection of traditional and popular Irish songs..

I have recorded and sold over 1700 copies of my successful compact disc of sea shanties called “Sailor Songs as well selling hundreds of a second CD “Sailing Away”
ROger the Cowboy Guy All American Roger Roger With Ukelele Sailor Songs CD cover Sailing Away CD cover
The trip around the world has interested diverse ethnicities with songs in Italian, Portuguese, Jewish, French, Spanish, Polish, Scottish, Gaelic, Brazilian, German, Hawaiian, Swedish etc.  
.Spontaneous humor has had audiences laughing and interacting everywhere.   I have a bit of magic going on with simultaneous 3 part harmonies, produced by a computerized device that can sample my voice and instantly copy it in harmonies, which I program. Suffice it to say it has been a jaw dropping surprise to many people!

On most songs I use pre-recorded backing tracks of a band to accompany the guitar and voice for a fuller, more rhythmical sound. This system greatly increases the “toe-tapping index”! . I often also use the rare Roland GR20 guitar synthesizer to make my guitar sound like a Banjo – Piano, Saxophone, Trombone, Vibraphone, Sitar, and more to add some wondrous magic. It’s a one-man band!

I have a repertoire for seniors of about 500 songs and... I can do specialty themes such as "Songs of the Old West - Cowboy Theme" "50's" Theme  "40's" Theme 

"Folk Music Theme" "Sea Shanties Theme"  "Patriotic Theme"  "Irish Music Theme"  "Christmas Music" and I can do the
"TRIP AROUND THE WORLD" with ethnic foreign language songs sung in, Spanish-(Mexico), Brazilian Portuguese-(Brazil), 
French-(France), Gaelic & English-(Ireland), English (England) Portuguese (Portugal), Italian (Italy) Yiddish (Jewish)  Polish (Poland)  Hawaiian  Swedish  German


My usual show is one hour of non stop entertainment some bookings are longer!
  The age groups sometimes range from 25 to 105.
I play to the average age and interest level of each individual audience.

I'm also a disc jockey and have done many senior functions, holiday parties, weddings etc..
