Twenty years on, still so far so good

I was so happy to discover that Roger and his darling wife Natalie had written a partial autobiography in the mid-1980s. I say 'partial' because many years have passed since then. This book, aptly titled "So Far So Good" (there is a song of the same name which appears on a few albums), treats the reader to amusing recollections of his growing-up years in Kenya, his rowdy young adulthood - including his numerous automotive bust-ups - and early romantic liasons, and his efforts at breaking into the music industry. You get the strong sense that he has thoroughly enjoyed his life and musical career so far, both the bliss and the bumps. He paints himself as an easy-going and imperfect fellow, which I take to be true since his wife Natalie, a fiery Irish woman, co-wrote the book with him. In person, as I have discovered, he is infinitely charming and laid back. I hope for another book later this decade, called "All's Well That Ends Well," or some such title. His life has been rich and varied, which makes for enjoyable reading.
