Songs and Stories
A recurring theme in Rogers' songs and stories are the characters and places in the fictional Oklawaha County, Florida though his earlier works referenced characters of the same names residing in non-fictional Winter Park, Florida and Habersham County, Georgia.
Through years of on-stage apprenticeship, Rogers refined and edited his one-man show into a single story line - a continuum he titled, Oklawaha County Laissez-Faire.
