    Bobby was also an excellent accordionist and had his own dance band. It is so sad that his life was cut short during what should have been a routine operation. He is missed by many people, myself included.

    the late great Gordy Davidson on lead guitar, he never really got the recognition he deserved, hope we meet again gordy, on the square.

      I haven’t heard the name Gordy in a long while, though I have a cousin named Gordy. Last time I saw him we were young in the 1960’s.
