Hi I’m Gene Stevens with a big birthday spotlight on Kenny Rogers turning 80 next week. I’ll have most of ‘The Gambler’s biggest hits and his very rare first record from 1958.

Plus a preview of the CNE Bandshell acts and a nice feature on Edward Bear – the Canadian band, named for the toy bear author A.A.Milne gave his son – Christopher Robin Milne – exactly 97 years ago this week.

I’ll tell you the stories of Winnie the Pooh, Edward Bear and Kenny Rogers – on the next Vintage Favourites this Sunday from 2:00 to 4:30 – on Zoomer Radio.
