"Dick could perform any peice of music I put in front of him, which allowed me to explore compositions and arrangements that were way beyond my range as a performer." -Freddy Moore.

In Insider Magazine, Tom Murtha wrote:

"Dick Rogers played reeds and anything else that happened to be onstage.
Moore taught Rogers to play saxophone (an easy task since Rogers already played Flute and Bassoon).
Reedman Dick Rogers was the only Pachuco Moore trusted to write his own parts.
"We really had to pamper him," says Moore, "He was our 'Mr. Versatility!"
"Pampering" took the form of the Skogie horn band.
"Dick really loved Chicago. In fact he WAS Chicago."
The horn band couldn't stay in tune, so Goldstein drew the lot of firing them.
A few months after the group hired Greg Kubera to play bass, Rogers left because he wanted to play bass."
