RIP ?? Bobby Flores
Not only one of the best western swing fiddle players on the planet, he could play multiple instruments. He was usually the first person called in many recording sessions. You will be missed my friend, but your music will live forever. pic.twitter.com/ZOj416m28f

Years ago, my grandad introduced me to Bobby Flores. Many years later, Bobby would go on to play on @thejessedaniel’s records. It felt full circle. Tough day for the music community losing Bobby.
