Bobby Taylor

Bobby Taylor was born in Kanawha County and is a fourth generation fiddler. He grew up within three miles of Clark Kessinger’s home, and he naturally gravitated to Clark Kessinger’s fiddling. Clark Kessinger’s music was highly desired by square dancers, and his early recordings included square dance calls by Ernest Legg. Mr. Taylor, a state champion fiddler, carries on the square dance tradition and regularly plays for three dances a month.
