Kenny Rogers Dies At 81 (Photos) by Explorers(m): 8:00am On Mar 21, 2020 |
The Rogers family is sad to announce that Kenny Rogers passed away last night at 10:25PM at the age of 81. Rogers passed away peacefully at home from natural causes under the care of hospice and surrounded by his family,' a statement said. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the family is planning to have a small private service at this time with a public memorial at a later date. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pLliaTneKts https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8137345/Country-music-icon-Kenny-Rogers-dies-aged-81.html 41 Likes 8 Shares

There are lessons in his song "the gambler" that I find important to this day, even though I don't gamble but those lessons can be applied to life. Like this line- "So for a taste of your whiskey, I'll give you some advice" Lesson 1: Don't desire something valuable if you're not willing to give something valuable in exchange for it. There are several others I can't go into. Song is filled with lessons: "You got to know when to hold em Know when to fold em Know when to walk away And know when to run You never count your money When you're sitting at the table There'll be time enough for counting When the deal is done Every gambler knows That the secret to surviving Is knowing what to throw away And knowing what to keep Cos every hand's a winner And every hand's a loser And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep" RIP Kenny Rogers Contact me to design your professional building drawings (architectural, structural, mechanical, electrical) all at good prices as well as construction supervision from foundation to painting.

The good musicians keep dying leaving us with more noise-makers and "kpangolo musicians". His studio was used during the composition and practise of the world all-stars song, "we are the world". RIP kenny. 67 Likes |

RIP legend my favorite of his song On a warm summer's eve On a train bound for nowhere I met up with the gambler We were both too tired to sleep So we took turns a-starin' Out the window at the darkness The boredom overtook us, And he began to speak He said, "Son, I've made a life Out of readin' people's faces Knowin' what the cards were By the way they held their eyes So if you don't mind me sayin' I can see you're out of aces For a taste of your whiskey I'll give you some advice" So I handed him my bottle And he drank down my last swallow Then he bummed a cigarette And asked me for a light And the night got deathly quiet And his faced lost all expression He said, "If you're gonna play the game, boy You gotta learn to play it right You've got to know when to hold 'em Know when to fold 'em Know when to walk away And know when to run You never count your money When you're sittin' at the table There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done Every gambler knows That the secret to survivin' Is knowin' what to throw away And knowin' what to keep 'Cause every hand's a winner And every hand's a loser And the best that you can hope for is to die in your sleep And when he finished speakin' He turned back toward the window Crushed out his cigarette And faded off to sleep And somewhere in the darkness The gambler he broke even But in his final words I found an ace that I could keep You've got to know when to hold 'em Know when to fold 'em Know when to walk away And know when to run You never count your money When you're sittin' at the table There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done You've got to know when to hold 'em (when to hold 'em) Know when to fold 'em (when to fold 'em) Know when to walk away And know when to run You never count your money When you're sittin' at the table There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done You've got to know when to hold 'em Know when to fold 'em Know when to walk away And know when to run You never count your money When you're sittin' at the table There'll be time enough for countin' When the dealin's done 163 Likes 12 Shares |

RIP Roger My uncle is a big fan,... I remember the days of Makosa, when I visited my uncle over the holidays....and I will insert the makosa disk to practice my dancing moves to show my crush back then in school, but uncle will just walk quietly and remove the disk to play his favorite Roger's collection.... Killing the whole excitement with a country music... 16 Likes |
