Begin Here: The Society of Ordinary Gentlemen
The Society of Ordinary Gentlemen, the O.G.’s of Gentlemanly Behavior, was created to provide a haven where gentlemen and ladies can communicate with each other in a polite and courteous setting. While many discussions will center around genteel behavior, humor, fashion, food, mental and physical well-being, and the active mentoring of a new generation of gentlemen, no topic of discussion is off limits provided the discussion is conducted within the Code of Conduct of the Society. The Society of Ordinary Gents is not a platform for recruiting members into sub-groups, special membership groups, or educational or financial opportunities. Poachers, Charlatans, or Internet Self-Help Gurus will be banned. The Society is not going to teach you how to be James Bond, John Wick, or the secret methods to make women want you. The Society is not a for-profit group or business. Essentially, The Society of Ordinary Gents is the online equivalent of friends enjoying a cigar, a bourbon and the company of others, as we discuss meaningful and trivial matters sitting in comfortable chairs.

Personal Grooming, The Discipline of Presence and Self-Respect
Few practices refine a man’s presence as swiftly and unequivocally as thoughtful grooming. Conversely, nothing sabotages even the most impeccable attire more efficiently than disregard for basic personal maintenance. Grooming, in its truest sense, is not a cosmetic indulgence; it is a mode of self-respect—a discipline of embodiment that signals order, intentionality, and regard for others. The advantage is democratic: any man, regardless of income, can achieve an elevated physical presence with attentiveness and consistency. Cleanliness is the foundational axiom of grooming. Daily bathing is not a matter of vanity but of physiology and social grace. Sweat, oils, and environmental particulates accumulate on the skin, fostering odor and dullness. A single daily shower is sufficient for most men, though those in hot climates, intensive workouts, or high-stress occupations may require more. Below, I would like to share with you discerning gentlemen a video from the renowned Gentleman's Gazette. It provides a laconic survey into the crucial areas of personal grooming. (Please feel free to share with the younger generation - who showering once a week suffices!) Alas, looking refined does not require expensive brands or complex rituals. What it requires is discipline: the daily, almost liturgical commitment to ordered habits. Grooming is the external manifestation of internal coherence. It signals to the world—and to oneself—that one is awake, intentional, and ready to participate meaningfully in life. The true gentleman does not groom for vanity. He grooms as an act of respect: for his own dignity, for those he encounters, and for the life he intends to embody.

Roger Blows Christmas
This is my attempt to clone myself and play Christmas songs. The song is O Come, O Come, Emmanuel. Instruments used four sizes of recorders, a b flat trumpet, a C trumpet, an euphonium, a marching French horn and keyboard.
