“I thank you more than you know for the gift of that experience,” Rogers remarked. “Who would believe that a child from the projects in Houston, Texas could ultimately end up in The Smithsonian Institution? It is truly the American Dream.”
After more than five decades of touring and entertaining the world, Kenny Rogers is currently in the middle of his final worldwide tour: “The Gambler’s Last Deal,” which is expected to run into 2018.
