Loved his music, and Dolly was just the icing on the cake.

Seemed like a nice guy, although as usual, his ex-wife may feel differently.
Question: Wasn't it Kenny Rogers on an infomercial many years ago who was selling a book to teach you how to play guitar called "Easy Pickin' and Fun Strummin'?"

Not my kind of music either but did see him in the round in Rupp Arena in 1982 - large crowd and very enjoyable show.

RIP
