selling piano recording of all time. Roger followed with more million-selling records, charting Billboard hits in four different decades including “Born Free,” “The Impossible Dream,” “Almost Paradise,” “Lara's Theme from Dr. Zhivago," and "Theme From Somewhere In Time." He has performed everywhere from Carnegie Hall to the Hollywood Bowl and the White House. The latter has earned him the title of "Pianist to the Presidents" playing for eight chief executives. He has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and is the only artist to receive the Steinway Lifetime Achievement Award. He continues with 30-40 concerts a year. At 79, on October 2, 2003, Roger played a 13-1/2 hour marathon concert in Palm Springs. On October 1, 2004, he played at the Carter Library for President Carter, celebrating the 80th birthdays of both the President and Roger. Roger runs several miles a day.

For North High grads...Roger began practicing at the age of three on a piano in the basement of St. John's Lutheran Church, Sixth and Keo, Des Moines, where his father was the pastor. Roger was later the choir director there. You may have heard him practicing occasionally at Babe's on Sixth Avenue.
