Tonight, Kenny Rogers entertained.  We had very good seats at the concert and really enjoyed his performance.  He was very entertaining, both in his singing and his jokes.

Kenny Rogers sang many of his songs and had the crowd really moving.  I remember earlier in his career I used to love to watch him perform.  He still sang good but you can tell his voice has changed with the years.   He says he has been performing for 50 years…
