Whether or not this is the same Roger Miller, I have no idea. I truly doubt if the country/western singer would have been in Mission of Burma or Birdsongs of the Mesozoic. And one might suspect that this Roger Miller from Birdsongs covered (though the term in used loosely since it bore little resemblance to the original) a song by the other Roger Miller because of a slight similarity in their names. >> [Me:] It's a shame he is so unknown, because he's clearly one of the >> greatest musical geniuses the world has ever produced. > So says the Howard Cosell of net.music So, I go and post something that isn't "boring and repetative and redundant" for a change, and this is the thanks I get. Just because you don't like me, doesn't make what I said untrue. But perhaps you wouldn't like Roger Miller's music, since it probably isn't what you would call "beautiful".
