R.I.P. Alaska's Hobo Jim

Alaska lost their beloved balladeer, Hobo Jim (Jim Vargos) a couple weeks ago from cancer. He was officially named Alaska’s balladeer in 1994, was a resident of Homer on the Kenai Peninsula and played just about every bar and club in the state. He has several albums and quite a few videos on u tube if interested. Rest in Peace Hobo Jim, you were one of Alaska’s finest.Singing around the campfire with Alaska's Hobo Jim - YouTube
