Ay Dios Mio! That is some sad news Papa!
I knew Bobby as well, he and Fred would come to AZ quite often to record and work on some material with a local pianist that I work with. In fact I had played with them at a local fund raiser for Parkinsons a couple of years back. Bobby was such a super cool guy, and phenomenal organ (B3) player. Que Papa Dios lo tenga en la Gloria!

Sad day indeed for the music industry!

con sentimiento

Onile!
