[edit] Roger Roger (Need to resolve the different Roger Mannings)

There are two different people.

• Roger Manning, one of the originators of Anti-folk [1]
• Roger Joseph Manning Jr. - keyboardist[2]

Links from other pages are related to both, but the content here seems to be related (mostly) to the later. Both are notable. I suggest Roger Manning be made a stub for the Anti-folk hero, and most of this content be moved to Roger Joseph Manning Jr. which currently redirects here. The keyboardist seems to market himself that way anyhow. Once this is done I'll also start a disambiguation page to include the fictional character and talk radio host of the same name. Hell maybe I'll even through in bass player Michael Manring for good measure.

One thing I'm still confused about. What does this article mean by saying he was "an integral member of Beck?" Beck Hansen was influenced by the Anti-folk Roger Manning in his early days. I'm not sure which one is being referenced in the Guero credits for playing the clavinet. Comments? -MrFizyx 20:38, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

• Roger Joseph Manning Jr. joined Beck's touring band in the mid-2000's. He played on every album from "Mutations" to "Guero"; he arranged much of "Midnite Vultures" and appears in videos for that album. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Schroeder74 (talk • contribs) . 30 July, 2006

Would it make more sense to say that he is a "member of Beck's band" than to say, "a member of Beck"? I mean Beck is a person right, not the leader of a band named after his first name? -MrFizyx 22:23, 30 July 2006 (UTC)

• Ah-ha Roger Joseph Manning Jr. lists Beck's albums among his credits. Interesting that Beck has some familiarity with both. -MrFizyx 21:14, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
• OK, I've created the two different pages for the two distinct artists (reversing a previous move)and sorted out all the links so that they direct you to the correct page. Except maybe one. There is a Roger Manning credited with background vocals on an Amanda Marshall album called Tuesday's Child. Neither of the guy's above are known for vocals, and she seems too mainstream for either of them. I'm pointing this to the disambiguation page for now. -MrFizyx 01:45, 26 April 2006 (UTC)
