Many changes!
With a heavy heart, I am retiring from performing! Huge medical bills for my wife's illness and my age (82) has finally caught up with me. I have been diagnosed with lumbar degenerative disc disease and am in a lot of pain all the time.
I have been selling a lot of Rogers items and guitars to help defray medical costs. It breaks my heart to do this but I have no choice. The biggest heartbreak is my go to red sparkle Rogers Buddy Rich Celebrity has been sold to a friend. That was my best friend for over 50 years!
I've been selling locally with no shipping involved but I do have a couple of things in the original boxes that I will ship.
One new (slightly used) b&b lug black diamond pearl 5x14 Dyna Sonic and will ship in a SKB hard case $800 to ROF members.
One slightly used Rogers (newest model) bass drum pedal (fantastic pedal) with soft bag $175.
I'm selling locally because shipping is soooo hard for me right now.
The ROF has been one of the great pleasures of my life but I'm going to have to turn the reins over to one of three members that I will be contacting soon. you've been a wonderful bunch of people and I thank you for your loyalty.
I'll still be around.

Re: Many changes!
Was a pleasure to have meet you after your trip to Seattle. Sorry to hear about your medical concerns.
As a side note, you might consider using a drop and ship location to help with sales.

Re: Many changes!
I have turned over ownership of the ROF to JACK McFeeters also known as JohnPloughman. He has been a major contributer and Rogers guru for many years. Give him your support and a great big hello.
I loved doing the ROF for 13 years and that's because of all of you wonderful members. It's been a great ride, thank you all.

Re: Many changes!
Musicbybj Jack, I wish you all the best and the least pain you can find.
I suffer with low back issues myself and I am only 57.
It kills me too, as I was a remodeling carpenter who did it all.
Now I can barely put my socks and shoes on and tie them.
82 -83 years old is quite a run , my friend.
