Glen Campbell's "William Tell Overture"-- Part 3: Ride 'Em Cowboy at the OldPuppet bar in Fox Lake, Illinois
And then, there was Glen Campbell's "William Tell Overture," the theme of "The Lone Ranger" as he rode the horse which gave us the idea for Riding the Horse. You should really, at this point if not familiar with Campbell's version of it, go to You Tube and watch it. How anyone could play a guitar that fast is beyond me.
Anyway, we'd explain to the people that if someone rides up to you on the stick horse and handed it to you, it was now your job to take it, ride it over to someone else and hand it off.
Now, we really had a great time doing this and some people REALLY got into riding that horse. We'd go through a stick horse every couple months.
And, if a girl thought she'd avoid riding it by running into the bathroom, she'd be followed in to the consternation of people already in there.
(There was a cut out of an Indian brave in the women's room with a cloth loincloth. Should a patron lift it up to see what was under, a buzzer would go off and lights would start flashing in the bar. Some mighty embarrassed ladies would come out of the bathroom.)
Anyway, Like I Said, Ya Couldn't Beat Fun at the Old Puppet Bar. Wish It Was Still There.--RoadDog
