This cowboy was from Seguin, Texas. The photo was taken on the Bowery in New York. He was called the "cowboy piano player".

That looks like "Ole Wild bill". Do you know Ole Wild bill? Or was that Stephen Foster?

That's an old pedal organ. My folks had one similar to that when I was a kid.

Is that a Smith in his holster? It is a neat old photo.

Mom has a pump organ Dad restored, I think it needs restoration again.

They probably arrested him for carrying that piece after the picture was taken!
