Heard this on the radio Friday afternoon during the drive home ...

quote:
Danny Byrd, owner of Feldman's Fieldhouse Diner in Canyon, Texas, talks about the fate of Tex Randall. Byrd bought the 47-foot statue of the cowboy hoping to move it to his restaurant. When he learned it would cost approximately $50,000 to move, he realized he couldn't afford it.

LOL. Actually, that would make for an excellent fund-raising raffle. Winning ticket gets to off the cement cowboy ...

(And if they do a pyrotechnic demolition, for heaven's sake please shoot a video and post it on YouTube!)

Yup. Highway 60.

A photo of Tex Randall way-back-when (1960s?), when he was part of Wheeler's old west Curio Shop and Gunfighter's Museum ...

Note the cigarette in the right hand. Tsk, tsk ...
