Nicely done.

Fine capture. I am old enough to remember the Buckhorn Saloon when it was actually a saloon first, serving beer and a museum secondly...

I wonder if this guy is a "real" cowboy or a checker at the local supermarket dressed up?

BTW: There is an excellent Texas Ranger Museum in Waco Texas that is a wonderful place to visit for anyone who is interested in the history of the American West. http://www.texasranger.org/

Another interesting aspect of Western Americans is the various styles of cowboy hats and the ways in which they are (or have been) worn. http://nationalcowboymuseum.org/expl...he-cowboy-hat/

What kind of hat do I wear? An Aussie Stockman's Akubra of course

Thank you, Richard.

From my understanding The Buckhorn has relocated a few times to it's present location on Houston St.

Personally it doesn't matter to me if he's a real cowboy or not. John Wayne and Clint Eastwood were not real cowboys, but I sure enjoy their movies.

I have been to the Texas Ranger Museum in Waco. Very interesting.

I like the hat you wear. I want one.

A lot of hat and no cattle!

Thank you, Denny.

Actually, he had just finished a cattle drive and was unwinding at the Saloon.

The reason I made the comment about "real cowboy" or not, was that his hands look pretty clean; without the wear and tear that I associate with cowboy work...
