Kenny Rogers, singer, songwriter and photographer passed away.
“The Gambler,” the Grammy-winning story song penned by Don Schlitz, came out in 1978 and became his signature song with a signature refrain: “You gotta know when to hold ‘em, know when to fold ’em.” In my humble opinion, that line applies in life to more than card games. (I have been known to quote it.)

Another personal note: 1987 I was astounded by an interview KR did promoting a recently published book. Amazing professional photography, KR included personal notes about the photo shoots and subjects….80 leading citizens. Three subjects are former U.S. Presidents.
Woo!Hoo! My sister was in Atlanta that year and got an autographed copy for me.
One of the joys of having a personal library. RIP KR
