The other day, I woke up , and turned on my television … the news informed me that my dear friend and singer-partner Kenny Rogers had passed away. We all know that Kenny lives in a far better spot than where we are today and I’m sure that he’ll be speaking to God in the near future If he’s not already. He’ll ask him to shine some light to all of the darkness in this world.
