The Origins of Countrybabe

My cousin Tim, who recently was married, has been a confirmed bachelor for over 20 years. He is a devout Christian man who walks the walk, a salt of the earth fellow. He would give you anything you needed on a dime. He loves people and sharing a good story, in fact, he could be a professional storyteller, as he is just that good! This is a true story that he spun one evening many years back.

There was a time in Tim’s life when he briefly did the bar scene. One night, he was at a club, met a woman and invited her to have dinner the next evening. They went to a nice restaurant, and this “date” started to smoke. Over the course of the conversation, she mentioned to Tim she was in a band. When Tim asked her what kind of band, she replied; in a thick smoky drawl with her cigarette pursed between her lips while the smoke furled upwards over her right eye, “Country Babe.”

Tim made the mistake of telling us the details of the date. Her now famous answer is a legend in the family. How did the story end? Tim finished his meal quickly and was never seen in a bar again nor was he seen with a woman in a Country Band. To this day he is affectionately referred to as Countrybabe and his new wife Karen will now be Mrs. Countrybabe of CB and Mrs. CB.

Yeah yeah, we are sick twisted people!
