@Holly Saunders , I had never heard that song before. I love it! @Bill Boggs , I love that one, too. My Daddy played a harmonica. I still have his harmonica.
This song has come to mean so much to me, and after making it through hurricane Harvey it has even a deeper meaning for me.
I didn't realise there was a 1951 version, I only knew the 1958 one which I liked, it's interesting to see how the musical style had evolved:
I'm sitting here at my desktop reading these posts and playing, You've got to know when to hold them, know when to fold them, know when to walk away, know when to run. You never count your money when you're sitting at the table, be time enough to hold them when the dealing done. or something like that.Guess that's The Gambler by Kenny Rogers.
Saw him live at the Fresno Fair a few years ago....he still put on a good show although his looks were ruined with the plastic surgery he had.
