A solid guitarist and vocalist, Babe Turner, AKA Black Ace, built his own guitar as a child, then taught himself to play…
He was also in a gospel choir in Hughes Springs, TX. Turner honed his skills playing at community functions during the '20s, then worked with Smokey Hogg at dances in Greenville, TX in the '30s…
Hogg and Oscar "Buddy" Woods were frequent partners for Turner, who made several solo tours in the '30s and '40s...
Turner had a show on Fort Worth radio station KFJZ from 1936 - 1941…
In working with the likes of Smokey Hogg and Oscar Woods, he had recorded such songs as,
'I Am The Black Ace,'
'Bad Times Stomp,
'Drink On Little Girl,'
Come on mama let's truck on down, to the Golden Slipper and break 'em down
913 on Taylor Street, they got good whiskey and plenty pigmeat
But watcha gonna do, when they break the Golden Slipper up
You won't have no where to go and get drunk and truck
The Golden Slipper bar is the best I know, you go here once you
You don't want her don't you be no clown, drink your good whiskey and don't break down
They got green river whiskey and the price is right
We ain't gonna fuss and we ain't gonna fight
Get at a table and sit right down, drink good whiskey but we ain't gonna clown
But watcha gonna do, when they break the Golden Slipper up
You won't have no where to go and get drunk and truck
..."Golden Slipper" Lyrics
We ain't gonna fuss and we ain't gonna fight
Get at a table and sit right down, drink good whiskey but we ain't gonna clown
But watcha gonna do, when they break the Golden Slipper up
You won't have no where to go and get drunk and truck
..."Golden Slipper" Lyrics
After a stint in the army during the early '40s, Turner's
