I live about 20 miles from the old Pickin' Parlor south of Clayton. Great music there back in the day when Roger and his brother Herschel owned and ran it. Yellow Pages is my FAVORITE country song of ALL TIME. It's the only song IN Country and OUTSIDE of Southern Rock in which you hear a triple lead guitar intro. And the steel guitar holds the song together all the way through. Roger was an arrangement and instrumentation GENIUS.
In the early '80s I played bass at the RVA Club in Rabun County Georgia, This song was one of the "mainstays" of our set. Yeah, those were the days....
Roger is buried just a couple miles from my house. The bronze vase on his grave was stolen a few months ago by thieves. The thieves a husband and wife were caught when they tried to sell his vase and about 50 other vases at a nearby scrap yard. He has the nicest gravesite on the whole place up on a hill top under a huge oak tree. The only tree in the cemetary. Roger was a great song writer.
I grew up at the mouth of napier hollow. roger was raised all the way in the head...lol. I never got to know him, but my father and his friends did. He gave dad one of his albums, (the one of him picking on a bridge) and i remeber playing it on our old floor model when i was 5 or so. Heard lots of cool stories of the man. I wish i was a lucky as dad, and got to know him like they did... Matt T.

I played this as a disc jockey (back in the days of live radio). Loved the intro of the record...
I used to get a lot of requests for this song when I worked at WNGC in Athens. ✌❤🎸
@@davidhilleymusic I only worked in small market radio, and a lot of good songs we played live, never get played on today's oldies station....
Had to get aholt of an old 45 to get this audio. I remember Roger, do you?
