Friends say he’d been in hospice after contracting COVID-19. Born on June 2, 1929, “between the Bastrop and Travis County line” by his own account, Flores began an eight-decade career playing guitar alongside Manuel “Cowboy” Donley, who died June 28, 2020, and Domingo Villarreal in the trio Conjunto Cielito Lindo.
