Playing (well) away from home- a one off at the Mayan Dude Ranch, Bandera, Texas USA. The moustache is by Felt Tip, the hat was from an Irish guy, the boots were the LEAST ridiculous in a shop we'd just been to (I had to buy them because I couldn't get them off!) - they look just about OK in Texas- but in this country- well you get a few funny looks, but they come in handy when you go to watch other bands- because they make you taller so you can see better! The guitar was borrowed- I'd been messing around on another guitar the night before- next thing you know- up there doing it again! That's NOT my crib sheet hanging off the microphone stand!

Yee Hah! Home, Home on the range! HAWK the horse (Mayan Dude Ranch, Bandera again) with some scrawny character on his back- he didn't pick the shortest straw that day - or did he?

Check out the Mayan Ranch Website and see if you can find that photo of him- without me on his back!

Bandera is  a real cowboy town about 40 miles from San Antonio. They still have boardwalks and hitching rails for the horses!

Trying on a hat in Bandera Forge. The bar has a sawdust floor- I think - you couldn't see it because there were 40 years worth of discarded bottle tops on the floor on top of what may have been sawdust. Blinding evidence that while there- I got converted to 'run on country' and rock music took a bit of a back seat for a year or so. (Country Music's all right - it's not all "Stand By Your Man" you know!) However, Get on down to Arky Blue's Silver Dollar bar in downtown Bandera - they have sawdust on the floor AND spittoons! - and folks in hats like this!
