He is certainly very conspicuous Doug. Great find and capture. Reminds of "Crocodile Dundee". Very good entry for the contest.

Perfect contest entry Doug. He's probably singing: "All My Exes live in Texas."
One of his exes is probably Morganna "The Kissing Bandit."

This should be the winner hands down!!

This has been one actual "eye-opener" for me this morning LOL
Although I generally prefer men attired more decently and wearing expensive casual clothes after all.
Doug dear, this contest promises to be a real fun and interesting experience.
Good luck and for God's sake, fella put on some clothes! LOL

Be interesting to hear him play in the middle of winter. A great capture of the cowboy, Doug. Good clarity and focus in the photo. Best of luck in the contest.

Unlike Jon Voight in "Midnight Cowboy", this appears to be Gitar Gill in "Midday Cowboy." In a small town they'd pick him up in a rubber truck—New York is more tolerant of colorful characters (otherwise that's all the police would have time to do) because there's so many more there. Actually, I'm not sure who's the odder character here, the cowboy or his rapt audience in the black suit and blue cap behind him. Yeah, this one definitely has the best shot at winning 1st in the contest. Unbelievable image... I have to wonder what sort of psychological need brings the cowboy to a performance like this. -Nik
