    Was she the piano player? I seen Willie a few years ago and she rocked the oldie but goodie "Down Yonder" on the ole ivory! Actually they were all pretty good. Prayers go out.

    Saw this in the AM, Mike.
    Sad news.
    She lived a full life.
    Saw her countless times with brother Willie.

    Sister’s coming home…..

    My friend Chris saw them this past fall in NH. He said, she looked all of 91, but she sure could play the piano!

    In recent years, we've seen Willie and family several times. Alisson Krause and Union Station were the openers and that's who we really came to see. Anyway, Bobbi was just amazing and seemed younger than Willie, in spite of being older. Thoughts and prayers for all the Nelson family.
