Kenny Rodgers was born and bred in Ayrshire, Scotland. His parents were ' ordinary folk' but extra-ordinary human beings. By modern standards Kenny comes from a huge family - he had five brothers and five sisters. Kenny was married to Nancy and has two sons, Gary and Greg. These are Kenny's memoirs and memories of his life and family. They are not ' kiss and tell' or tittle-tattle but real and at times raw , relevant and readable experiences of life and death.
Part 1 reflects childhood in a bygone age of the 1960's and 70's ; Scottish culture, education, sport , rural and city life. It weaves its way through the challenges of change in life and work and captures the disappearance of the ' picture-house ' and the appearance of the complexes; the demise of the co-operatives and the appearance of the multiples ; the death knell of board games and the discovery of the skaters and skate-boarders and the degeneration of politics and the regeneration of community spirit and consciousness.
Part 2 covers from 2004 to the beginning of 2013. Life goes on and repeats itself but not in the same 'ground-hog day' fashion. New local heroes bring out the best in people to help other people. Careers are carved out and recurved out as renewal follows redundancy. A young life is saved by two 'unsung heroes'; sporting success and unexpected victories are unexpectedly recorded. Darvel faces up to the prospect of a ' lace industry past' and a ' festival future'.
Part 3 initially reflected the nine years since 2013 and its sub-title of , ' What the F... , Did That just Happen ? really sums up the BORIs, BREXIT, TRUMP and COVID 19 calamities. These disastrous people and events put Part 3 on hold as Kenny waited for better times to roll and better times did roll but life is random and rocky and eventually Kenny finished Part 3 in 2026 with heartache that he could not have imagined.
But even in calamitous and heartbreaking times individual courage , sheer strength of character and eventually HOPE shine through.
In all three Parts the cycle of life turns in the sure and certain knowledge that, Everybody has to Cry Sometime'.
