--------------------
Roger Detson grew up bouncing around all parts of San Francisco; such is the life with bohemian parents. He followed his own muse to UC Santa Cruz and studied music and ethnomusicology, although more often than not wandering off to rock climb, hang out at all-night Burner or Ren Faire type events. He eventually found his love in the Arabic 'oud, if not also with a revolving cast of girlfriends.

Not having any real plans of his own, he followed one who stuck around longer, by the name of Lydia, to New York, where she started medical school. After a few months, she was exasperated with him and they parted ways. Since then he has been living the dream of a working musician, busking in the Park or the High Line and performing in night clubs with belly dancers, dumbek players, and the like. His tiny apartment in the Village barely fits his lanky frame and his scores of musical instruments, spiritual knick-knacks, and vintage LPs.

Roger is tall with a great mane of dark hair and hypnotic green eyes, owing to some heritage on his mom's side. Although skinny, he has some muscle from climbing and working out in the park. He dresses in various styles, from dark beaten up shirts and pants, to more ethnic getups for busking, to Ren Faire outfits. Extremely easy going and relaxed, he is sometimes confused when people get upset with him, for example, when he fails to show up on time.
