I shuddered when I saw Kenny Rogers so frail at his Farewell Concert (last Wednesday). Then again he is 79 and he still could sing! But time to retire, I'm afraid.

Dolly on the other hand still has it!

Chris Stapleton performed Don Schlitz' The Gambler which Kenny made a hit in 1978 (Grammy Award winner, I think). A colleague of mine played that song on his jukebox and so I've been listening to it for the last few weeks and playing it on my guitar. :) Many like the Schlitz but Kenny's version sounds much smoother to me. Don Schlitz should just be credited for the writing, I think, which is already praiseworthy.

He looks to be in remarkable shape for someone that's 79 years old, and to still be able to sing the way he does is really special. We could all only dream about being in his condition at 79, I feel like if I still have my wits about myself when I get to be that age it will be a miracle. :D

Hehehehe ;) ...I feel 30+ years younger when I read your post...

For me, recently, a ton of Depeche Mode, Tears For Fears (Mother's Talk - love it), I'm working on my 2018 MP3 list for when I ride my bike. Under 50K I don't listen to music, over 50K I do. U2-Pride (In The Name of Love) will be on it.

For fun in my car, Kate Bush...Wuthering Heights is such a cute song. Babooshka...Running Up That Hill will make my list.

The Dead Kennedys "Too Drunk to f**k" is a fun workout song too :) . Maybe on the list. OK, it will make the list.

When I ride, I hate hard rock...I just wear one ear piece, ride on deserted roads, or the bikes-only one lane between Richmond and Williamsburg. Yes, Mayomaniac, the steepest climb for me right now is my driveway :D .

Earlier this year, I did Peter's Mountain three times, and my BDay present next year is the Wintergreen climb, and I'll post pics and review (epic of course, drama and all :) ) in the appropriate forum.
