The Gambler www.highrollerradioshow.com Kenny Rogers won the Grammy for best male vocalist in 1980 for the song, 'The Gambler." As close to a perfect song as you'll get, it quickly became one of the all-time great anthems. Released - 1978 Format - Vinyl Genre - country Label - United Artists Length - 3:32 Witer - Don Schlitz Producer - Larry Butler Bad beats and bad bets! By: Derrick Oliver When I was a kid, maybe seven or eight, I’d make a lot of bets with my father. Five dollars on a 10-foot putt, ten bucks on the name of a song, another 10-spot on a pool shot, would I make the 8-ball 20 bucks, you get the drift. Well, it wasn’t too long before I was into him for over $100. Then, it was 160 bucks, 180, 205 and so on and so on. I’d win a wager here and there but I mostly lost. Sensing I had the gambling bug well entrenched in me, pops laid it on the line one day while we were on the golf course; should I have the misfortune of ever owing him $500 he would wipe the slate clean but only after punching me in the face. Yes, a good old-fashioned knuckle sandwich. It might be a strange way to teach a kid a lesson but certainly an effective technique. I am 41 now and I still owe him $497(have owed him that since I was nine!). I’m pretty sure the next wager will hover around the $2.90 mark. It’ll have to be a sure thing - Dad’s got a pretty good right hook! - Anecdote from my soon to be released book. ![]() Article provided by Derrick Oliver @ www.highrollerradioshow.com High Roller Radio Forum |
