Country Music legend and American Music icon Kenny Rogers celebrated his 75th birthday on Wednesday, August 21, 2013. While many entertainers that have reached this milestone are retired or resorted to just playing a few shows here and there, Mr. Rogers appears to be busier than ever.

In 1978 Kenny Rogers went to No. 1 and won a Grammy Award for his smash hit 'The Gambler.' Now, thanks to Robert Wilsdon, the song has been revived and remixed into a Country Line Dance favorite.

The legendary Kenny Rogers has had one of the most successful and longest-lived careers of any artist of his generation, but he still hadn't achieved the pinnacle of country success -- induction into the Country Music Hall of Fame -- until this year.

The Country Music Hall of Fame has announced the 2013 inductees. Considered Country Music's highest honor, the CMA created the accolade to recognize significant contributions to the advancement of country music by individuals in both the creative and business communities.

Wednesday, April 10, 2013 is the date that we learn who will be inducted into the prestigious Country Music Hall of Fame. Last year the honor went to Garth Brooks, Connie Smith, and studio musician Hargus 'Pig' Robbins.

It's Christmas Eve and Santa has the sleigh being loaded and is getting ready to make the rounds around the world. I'm sure he's "carbing" up on plenty of Mrs. Claus' cakes and cookies so he has plenty of energy for the busy night ahead. I'm sure Santa has a great sound system on the sleigh too and listens to great country Christmas songs while he makes his rounds.
