Before I read the caption I just assumed they were all eating beans šŸ‘ƒ
 

Drifiter:
post #320, the real McCoy, give it a gaze if you haven't see it already.
Meanderer: Where in the world are you finding all those pictures.

Given the # of post, western lore is in no danger of becoming outdating, haven't quite grasped an understanding of why city folk are attracted,
but I'm glad they are. My city-breed spouse had no interest in the rural, "Well, why do you want to live where there's nothing?"

There are still some vaqueros in South Tx., haven't been in area for decades.
Comanche's are credited as being best horsemen, perhaps true in that they rode bareback. but if you've seen vaquero's ride I have to say it is a tossup.

Any brush poppers out there?

Correct me if wrong, post #4, isn't that Joel Mccrea

Yeah, jerry, that's Joel McCrea. I have to admit that his name and face stayed under my radar, somehow. My loss.

"In his hey-day, many of his contemporaries, notably Katharine Hepburn and Bette Davis, felt the industry sorely underestimated his talent. He was also overly modest about his own abilities. Late in life, McCrea admitted: ā€œI have no regrets, except perhaps one: I should have tried harder to be a better actor.ā€ (Link)

"A performance by Sourdough Slim a.k.a. Rick Crowder is a hoot to say the least. This savvy performer with a seasoned gift for connecting with audiences transports us to a whimsical world where vaudevillian camp intermingles with cowboy lore, producing grins galore. "

"Since 1988 he has gained national recognition performing at events across the country including; The National Cowboy Gathering in Elko, Nevada, The Kennedy Center in Washington, DC and Carnegie Hall and The Lincoln Center in New York."

"His fast-paced stage show combines cowboy singing, award winning yodeling, timeless humor, accompaniment on accordion, guitar, ukulele and harmonica and a keen knowledge of the traditional Western repertoire."

Yo!!!! Rinty. My Cowboy hero was Rusty ( Lee Aaker). He was a kid, who lived with a cavalry unit of the US Army. His dog was Rin Tin Tin. Yup, I fell for that plot line. Every Saturday morning @ 10:00 AM, right after "Fury", which was a close second in my personal cowboy Hall of Fame.dog.jpg

Met Roy and Dale when they came to Roy Jr.'s wedding in our town years ago. They were all such nice/humble people.
Roy Jr. married a local girl that I had babysat for over the years.

No one could play a bad fella like______________ (cannot remember his name).
It will come to me tonight.

Ha, it is Jack Palance, not Jack Elam-always confused who was who. Elam had a 'wandering eye' that personified evil, that and his leer.
Did not know he was blind in that 'wandering eye,' until recently:
Fight in boy scots, jabbed in eye with pencil
He was a bookkeeper, or something in that field, before appearing in movies,
that does not compute?
He plent'a bad man, not bookkeeper.
He had great comedy skills-'Support your local sheriff, and another with
Tim Conway (maybe not, memory?).
I like old Elam, sloven, confused, always getting things ass-backwards, ...
Yea, liked old Elam.

The picture is from the movie "Shane". He had a small part as a hired gun but played it magnificently. Palance played a wizard in the movie "Silver Chalace". I always enjoyed his work. He stayed in great physical condition all of his life.
 
THE HEADLESS HORSEMAN (LINK)

ALICE, TEXAS - "The tale can be traced to Big Foot Wallace, himself a legend in Texas, the true facts are known only from his own account. In his own memoirs he recounted how a lone cattle rustler was caught and killed by Wallace and a group of ranchers. In a fit of bizarre humor, and to make an example of the thief, they beheaded the banditā€™s body. Then tying the dead rustler to the saddle as though he sat astride his horse, they affixed the severed head to the saddle horn and released the unfortunate animal to make itā€™s way baring the dead rider."
