[@joem.8277]

I woke up this morning to learn of this legend's passing. Kenny Rogers was an amazing artist, he surpassed limits and was an icon not just of country music, but all things Americana. He is one of those few who had "IT.". I saw him performed in 2016 and when he sang The Gambler I sobbed. I felt so lucky to have heard that performance live. Mr. Rogers, with your talent, your advice, your example, your patriotism, your songs, you gave this could try so much. Thank you for so many memories and lessons. May you rest in peace. I hope as you showed your last hand you remembered that beyond your family you were loved and respected by countless fans across the world.

My Dad feel in love with poker the last 15 years or so of his life, turned out he was really good at it. He never went and played professional, just played at bars and the like. He started taking me when I was 17, and I learned the game too. It has been years since I held a hand, but I ALWAYS keep his deck of cards with me, you never know. He passed away on May 26, 2024, so it's been six months with him gone. For those that read this, this song so much reminds me of him, for he always had a word of wisdom to offer. He was a good man. My late wife explained it the best. He was a father and man worth missing.

Why I've always cherished this song is because it's a message that everyone, at times, needs to follow. Be aware of what and who's around you, knowing that your daily life is a gamble. It's a game where you have confidence in yourself, know when to evaluate yourself, learn to accept and trust others, run away from fear but towards what you feel is your calling. Give yourself faith and do your best, self evaluate, and finally... balance! I find it a message on how to live the life you've been dealt. This will always be a gamble. Play your cards right!

She was 14 and a violinist. She had her instrument with her and when he saw the case he started to ask her thoughts on various music that she played. He was genuinely interested in her music. The second time I met him he was sitting across and one row up from me on a plane. I introduced myself and told him about how his meeting and talking to my daughter was so great for her. He remembered the occasion!!! God it is nice to see such a superstar behave like a gentleman and be so nice to a young fan. Thanks for so much great music....

This song was a regular part of our music festivals over the years. I think this was the first song I knew all the lyrics to as a kid.. 3 years old and I could put my own vinyl on. Still have my original copy. It's always been special to me but so much more today. One of my long time music hero's died last night.. I was actually visiting with one of my friends about our musical influences from childhood and this was one of the album's we were talking about.. and right at the time of his passing too. "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."

"The gambler, he broke even" I love that sentiment as a metaphor for death. It's like in the movie the Green Mile, Brutus tells Percy: "He's paid what he owed, he's square with the house again." after the execution of Arlen Bitterbuck. Some people look at it as euphemisms and newspeak but the sentiment behind lines such as these is quite lovingly poetic.

Surely, winter will follow my vim an vigor; But you never told me that May would last forever!"

Why should it matter if you are black or white? I think it is more a question of parenting. It is likely that you favour the same or at least some of the music genres that your parents like as well. The only reason that so many black kids like "ganster rap" is because of their culture and therefore Self-fulfilling prophecy. If a very young child already thinks "I am black so I must like rap and hip hop" it is very common that this actually comes true.
