And every hand's a loser
And the best that you can hope for is to die
in your sleep"

RIP Kenny

Not a fan, but found his songs a notch above the usual country stuff.

He had quite a career. More of the music from the soundtrack of my life. RIP.

I loved listening to his songs back in the early 80s when I was a youngster.

It's too bad the COVID-19 is preventing the family having an all-out funeral for him.

Thoughts and condolences go out to his friends and family.
