Big Iron
Published 29th Mar 2006 by Lol

Rediscover the Wild West: the West you saw in films, the West that Zane Grey brought to life: the West you?ve always dreamt about.

A woman fighting hard drink, a marshal fighting hard men, a gunslinger as mean as a rattlesnake with death blazing out of his eyes and from the gun in his hand, a Madam who knows how to make a man feel good and a good man wish he wasn?t. Meet them all in the BIG IRON.

Lonesome cowboys will urge you to sit awhile as they tell tales of wide open spaces, dust-choking cattle drives and the smell of buffalo in the morning. Watch out for the town drunk who?ll try to swipe your whuskey and the Temperance Biddy who wants to water the cactus with it. You?ll get to meet the women trying to survive in a land that was made by men, and the men who?ve been broken by a harsh terrain and an unforgiving sun.

Pull up a chair and listen to sweet live music that will make you want to gallop off into the sunset. Brought to you by songwriters with the Rio Grande coursing through their veins, it will bring warmth to your heart, a smile to your lips and maybe a chill to your spine.

Stetsons aren?t mandatory but we?d sure look kindly on guests who came in appropriate attire. Just hang your holster at the door as you step into another world. Be assured that ladies are not only mighty welcome; they will also be treated like ladies, especially those that can shoe a horse or brand a maverick.
This isn?t a show. This is a way of life.
