Kenny Rogers Dies At 81 (Photos) by Explorers(op): 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.

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

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.

Don Williams gone, Kenny Rogers gone, Dolly Parton...

The links between old country music of 1950s and modern country music are passing away.

It's like you're just recovering from covid-19. It would seem though that it has altered your brain

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

Evergreen song but if people listen to the advice Bet9ja and Betking go close.

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...
