Very cool story, CH ! Thanks for sharing !
CRAZY-HORSE Wrote:Roger's brother is Tom...
Tom said he was the more gifted musician of the family but was not in the right place at the right time, thus he never made it.
his parents were all "roger this, roger that" apparently?, thus he moved to Australia to live a "hippy" lifestyle(self sufficient,living off the land,veggie gardens etc etc).
Tom depised his family for ignoring him and heaping all the praise on the "less gifted" brother, but was happy Roger "made it".
he had all the Supertramp albums and Roger's solo stuff.
look, not sure, got the impression there was a bit of jealousy there....but he seemed to be a nice guy overall!
The ultimate connection is between a performer and its' audience!
