Bummer , he will be missed. I’m in central California and grew up with Bakersfield Country and he’s been a mainstay my whole life. I was fortunate enough to grow up in a home where everyone was into music. My father listened to everything from Merle Haggard to The Moody Blues. My mom played piano and her best friend worked at A&M Records in L.A. We listened to American , Greek, Spanish and there was always music playing. I remember when I was a kid we went out to dinner with friends that had a Greek band. One of the members was Cubby O’Brian from the Carpenters. I’m so grateful to have been exposed to all that music as it’s truly enriched my life. So a toast to Flaco ! You will be missed.
Adios Flaco
Flaco Jimenez RIP, a giant of Conjunto and Norteno music has left us, another great loss.
