I
started doing this in the eighties. I started out with a pair of
used pants an old shirt from the thrift store, picked up a couple
of 1861 Navy Colts, couple of "Slim Jim Holsters", belt
and took a pair of my dads old motorcycle boots from when he was
a motor-cop, modified them and started re-enacting.
Got hooked up with what was left of the California Gunfighters
and after they dissolved away and a couple of more groups faded
away, myself and a few others started The Frontier Gunfighters.
Thru the years I have had an oil painting done of me by Ron Crab
which according to an issue of Western Horseman, the painting was
last seen in a museum somewhere in Scottsdale Az.
I have also been in several student films and TV commercials. I
have been in movies such as "Torc" a motorcycle movie,
now I know it's not a cowboy flick but it's a movie, I have a close-up
in Vengeance Trail and have been in the local papers many times
for the different events we do and I have been in many parades and
have traveled as far as Tombstone Az. to perform in the OK Corral.
I also perform with a group in Tombstone.
I like re-enacting the old west and learning about it. I also like
being in front of people talking to them about why things were the
way they were. You do have to research the old west to talk and
live it. |
