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.

“The militancy of men, through all the centuries, has drenched the world with blood, and for these deeds of horror and destruction men have been rewarded with monuments, with great songs and epics. The militancy of women has harmed no human life save the lives of those who fought the battle of righteousness. Time alone will reveal what reward will be allotted to women.”

“The affair between Margot Asquith and Margot Asquith will live as one of the prettiest love stories in all literature.”
