Jimmie Roger's California Blues Sung by Babe Sims

this is part of a video special "Now That's Country" produced and hosted by
singer-songwriter, Penelope Torribio. Babe Sims was a beloved musician for over fifty years. Everyone loved his down-home humor, his story telling, his huge repertoire of old songs and traditional guitar picking.

Aww Babe is my Great Uncle! I never knew him but my Grandma is his sister and she's the greatest woman in the world so I'm not surprised he is just as amazing!

PS. eyesblue100 a good rule of thumb is if you don't have anything nice to say don't say anything at all. Sometimes something that means nothing to you means the world to someone else :) God Bless!

thank you for this reply. I miss Babe as so many people in the Inland Empire do. He was an amazing and kind man and he knew a million songs and had two million stories.

My name is Woody Phillips. Babe was a friend of mine for 20 years or more. We played many of the same saloons when I was first starting out. He was a kind and generous man and was always a friend to me.

Good to see this on YouTube. God Bless all!
