RiP Kenny Rogers.

For whatever reason despite all his hit tunes the one that sticks out in my mind is the tune he did with Kenny Rogers and The First Edition, “Just Dropped In” ( to see what’s my condition my condition is in).

"Through The Years" says it all for me..

My goto song for an Anniversary RIP Kenny

"Through the Years", "Lady", "You Decorated My Life", my favs ...
RIP, Kenny, and THANK YOU for your music ...

Kenny was a true legend in every sense of the word.....
I will dedicate this duet I recorded with my daughter

Great work Donny and Mandy! Thanks for that! Kenny's departure will definitely be a big loss to the Country entertainment industry and all pf us fans. RIP Kenny.

a legend he will remain in my heart may he RIP.
and thanx for listening.

Donny,

Wonderful work you and Mandy have done. I believe I have that great rendition on a CD you sent me a few years ago! Kudos to you again!

Steve your too kind .....thanx

stay safe I see tomorrow they are virus testing in your village.

More than anything, what a special time with your daughter, nothing can replace that. Thx for sharing...

My daughter caught my performance in Cincinnati a month ago. Sat right in front of me and we were so emotional together. Special times. ps. She did classical piano very well, but went on to business school and then later got her RN, which she enjoys more than anything. A compassionate girl who is needed by the folks she cares for.

Zuki it is always special when we both get in the booth
and sing...

thank you

You’re welcome Donny. Yes the testing starts here tomorrow. It is being conducted in a large outdoor area known as the Polo Field( yes they do play polo there). An appointment is needed for the 5 days of testing. They only want those that are not feeling well to sign up for the testing.

Hey, Steve ... You go from RI, where there are polo matches in the summer, to FL where there are polo matches - what are the chances of that?
We've gone to the matches on Portsmouth, and it is a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon ... Have you gone down there?

Tony, Haven’t been to polo at home in RI or in Florida. Polo season was going to open here around March 13th, that’s about the same time they started canceling all events. I have been to the polo field in Portsmouth but never for a match. I agree what are the chances?

The first edition came thru Lexington in the late 60's. My company provided the sound, stage and cover for the outdoor event. A half hour before the event, it stormed like hell. I looked up, and Kenny was pushing a squeegee, right along with the maintenance crew.

Worked until all the water and junk was gone. Then, played the show.

He was a hell of a bass player, before he switched to country. I remember he played a special edition Tele bass that had a slab body. Sting plays the Strat body version.

One of my favorite country performers.

Just caught a listen, Donny. It' s a shame you and your daughter didn't get hold of this song before Kenny and Dolly. You'd be be super rich by now. 'Pipes' in the family, for sure.

Thanx 124 really appreciate it...stay safe my friend.

Donny, it doesn’t get much better than that.
In my life I valued everything my daughter did together.
You are one very lucky man.

This the best I have heard you do, there must be a lot more.
Great job, John C.

John..... Thank you
And yes we have recorded a few songs together...
And hope to do more in the future too..
