The Gambler (Kenny Rogers)

"The Gambler," covered by Reina del Cid and Toni Lindgren

Since we're in Vegas, we figured we should do the Kenny Rogers classic, "The Gambler." I was a bit overwhelmed with all the sights and sounds so I mixed up a few of the lyrics, but the general spirit is there. Shout out to my mom, whose 60th birthday was on Cinco de Mayo, which is why we're here in Las Vegas!

This is what you call honest music. Played by real musicians. Music with passion.

I love Toni's guitar work so much. Could watch her play all day. All. Day.

[PB]

Fantastic guitar work Toni. Lead, rhythm, bass and percussion all rolled into one smiling musician - excellent.

[Theophilus]

Love the bottle cork 'pop' in the middle of it - that's playing with style and enjoying it!

[antonioguimaraes]

Toni the best guitarist in the world! And one of the most beautiful smiles!

[monteyoung]

I could watch them all day. The Band & Grace Potter have nothing on them when it comes to singing I shall be released. I wish I could have been sitting at that campfire.

[tejasr.luthra]

I keep coming back for that 2:59 moment. Toni really nails it!

[richardcisowski]

I used to have a Taylor just like Toni's. After listening to her play a few songs I thought it best to make mine firewood !!

[neurofire]

Toni makes it look so easy doesn't she? I can't take my eyes off her left hand...and to whoever framed the shot - I say thankyou!

[haroldk]

Toni's guitar work is amazing....with a voice like yours, the two of singing together is amazing....heaven on earth

[bryanlint]

No matter what song you two play it's a winner. Love your music.

[graemewilce]

LOVED that song and the guitar playing

TWO OF THE VERY BEST...
In the pantheon of duos, Rachelle and Toni rank in the top three, and compare favorably with Simon and Garfunkle as well as with the Carpenters or any of the others listed on Rolling Stone's 20 great duos for that matter. Simon, a great guitarist in his own right and Garfunkle, a wonderful singer, were mostly serious, even in their later "live" shows, such as Central Park. What sets Reina Del Cid apart is the unmitigated joy they express in making old pop songs their own as well as the depth of lyrics and melody in their original compositions. I say they belong in the top three and Rolling Stone should adjust accordingly.

"when the deal is done! super! thank u so much!

[maroshaluska]

Dnes i číst jsem byl líný,
Přelouskal jsem pár stránek
A pak mi klesla víčka -
V ten moment už jsem spal.
Sen dostavil se náhle,
Vyšel rovnou z téhle knížky,
že jsem potkal hráče
A on mi povídal:
"Chlapče ten kdo umí hrát,
Musí číst lidem v tvářích,
Poznat vo co kráčí
A co chtějí v očích skrýt.
Vím v čem Ty děláš chyby -
Chtěl bys víc než můžeš ztratit,
Ten kdo prohrál musí platit,
Tak nech si poradit".
Na botách jen prach a bláto,
Ten kdo psal tenhle román
Neměl vůbec ponětí
Jak mně to unaví.
Hned bych s Tebou chlapče měnil,
Jestli chceš tak aspoň chvíli
Buď obávaných hráčem
A měj nohy toulavý.
Život je hrou vyhranou,
Když zvedneš sázky
Doufej a nevzdávej,
Hraj klidně dál.
Štěstí má svou cenu,
Kterou držíš ve svých dlaních,
Kdybys malou chvíli pustil -
Zač bys potom…

[RichardOliverWY]
