The painting of the Crazy Mule Music Store in Washburn inspired Donnie Stumpff to contact Steve Hodgin of Rustic Creations here in Washurn to paint this 80 foot metal building in Cassville (near Hill Top) Painting on metal provided a much greater challenge than painting on concrete block
Just for Fun...
"He Ain't No Cowboy"
He ain't no cowboy,
but he wears a cowboy hat.
He's got a fancy pair of boots,
but his belly's kinda fat.
He ain't no long lean cowboy.
He never rode the range,
or mended broken fences;
I think it's kinda strange,
He drives a big ole pick-up truck
never dent by cattle,
four wheel drive never jumped no rocks,
Its bumper doesn't rattle.
He's never seen a rattlesnake,
and never broke a horse,
but he knows all the country steps,
and line dances, of course.
He ain't no cowboy.
He smells too good to be.
He's never seen a roundup,
except for on TV.
He's never laid beneath
the giant western sky,
or followed the trail of the tumbleweed,
but I just dont know why.

This poem was written as sort of a way of poking fun at myself. I actually have done many of the things depicted in this poem. I have broke horses and cared for cattle some. I like to two step but I hate line dancing (too confusing). I've crossed the path of several rattlers, and skinned one out, but have only admired and imagined the hard life of a cowboy.
My Grandpa was a Colorado dairyman. I have spent plenty of time out west. There is a glorious heritage we need to honor in our western past, and a code of honor which we need to dignify by our memories and songs.
