Traveling Backward Through the Good Times with Scarekrow This Week and Westley Butler Last Week: Is Your Photo Here?


Another "blur" of a week, Memorial Day Weekend through this current weekend: 2 great bands, lots of beautiful women, cold beer, wish you were here at Cowboy Bill's Key West.



Kevin in the forefront laughing at his partner in crime, Bo Allen, whose vocal mic he just turned off. Kevin and Cowboy Bill went over our entire sound system this week. It's never sounded better.

Three of the hardest working men in Country Music: Scarekrow's Kevin, Bo, and Eric.


"Everybody do the Scarekrow. Good Gawd, Oooooow!" (Must be screamed like James Brown.)

Bo Allen poses at 3:00 AM with one of the prettiest ladies to walk the Honky Tonk Badonkadonk during the night.


The Late crowd of off-duty locals mixed with visitors and Military. We love our fans of Cowboy Bill's!

Monster tries to coax this beauty to climb the tree and she said, "What, that big thing behind us?" That's Andrew from Adventure Imaging, professional photographer of bull riders. He's looking for shiny objects on the ground.



Cowboy Jake "gets some air and clicks his boot heels" duing one of his Clog Moments.

Will the Circle be Unbroken? Not likely with this crew of like minds: Rick (Scarecrow's drummer), Monster, Bo Allen (of Scarekrow), Teresa and Ron Rice Paddie (who comes from another place).

Shiny Happy Country Gals enjoying Cowboy Bill's, the weirdest Country Bar in the Known Cosmos!



A couple of shots of late night dances at 1:50 to 3:45 AM.

The two shots above are gift to the two newlyweds who walked in very late, slow danced a couple and then got up on the bull. Ya'll come back, you here?



Rick "Aquaman" playing drums in his new Aquarium

Tim, in the forefront bartending. Shannon way in back. Two of our favorite bartenders in Key West


Teresa gives hula hoop lessons with Ron Rice Paddies' Magic Hoop.

That's Haley at the register thinking, "NOT THE PENNIES!"

That's Teresa with guys falling all over her as usual. Josh and Monster on the left and Jason on the right.



Scarecrow's last song of the evening one night this week and people were still dancing. I want to say this one was shot on Thursday Night.


Michael Jackson has "Moonwalk". Ron Rice Paddie has his "Measurement Walk".

The beautiful young lady in the dress is the Dominatrix of the Bull, Ms. Anna!

It's no secret with locals any longer: Cowboy Bill's is loaded with beautiful women who like to kick off their shoes and dance! I'm sorry I didn't get a close up of this young lady. She had men turning their heads when she walked by.

Pendleton Whiskey is one of the proud sponsors of Scarecrow. Look at this beautiful new banner we hung in the entrance way announcing Scarekrow's return to Key West. Thanks, Clayter!



The Sports Bar was jammed pack for the new MMA fights on NBC this past Saturday Night.



Tim was bartending with Shannon for the big Kimbo Slice fight. It was Tim's idea to turn off the music and to turn up the volume for the fight whiled dropping the big screen. Great call, Tim! I had no idea this many people would want to watch Mixed Martial Arts on a Saturday Night!

Samantha our bartender and some guy who obviously is close to experiencing the "Miracle of Intoxication".




That's Pendleton Whisky's Clayter and wife doing the new Dance Sensation called "The Scarekrow".

That's Key West Rugby's Joel who is going for my throat as I snap his picture. He missed obviously!

The dancefloor is always crowded when Scarekrow is on the stage.

Two of our favorite locals, Bob and Debbie slow dancing. They are also two of the biggest Scarekrow fans on the planet.

Cris our bartender screaming in Irene's ear which is plugged with a security earpiece. Working with these two beatiful and funny women make work a breeze.

This tourist won keys to a pink Hummer which the band gave away. I think the vehicle used to be Scarekrows old band truck, but because of high gas prices, Scarekrow is now using five Prius's to cross country.

Hotties on the dancefloor cheering a late night song by Scarekrow


Clayter, VP of Pendleton Whisky and Cockspur Rum sales in the USA presenting me with my own Pendleton Whisky/Scarekrow shirt. Thanks, Clayter, I'll wear mine proudly.

One lucky guy posing with two of our favorite pretty mainlanders who visited the club this past week.


These are some of the very bad spoooky "Avlanche of Steel" Moped Gang



Bo congratulating Jason who sang one with the band.


Don't look back, guys, the DJ is gaining on you!


Rick Aquaman can hold his breath for 45 minutes . . . or an entire band set . . . while submerged in his new aquarium. He will be on Oprah next week to break Blaine's record recently set on the show.


Part of the Happy Hour crowd hanging out before Scarekrow's first set.


This young married couple from Kansas asked me to play them a "swing" song, so, I played them "Born to Boogie" by Hank Williams, Jr. They tore it up and the crowd applauded them.


The Diemer Wedding Party, about 50 strong, took over the top deck early on Thursday or was that Friday Night?


Newlyweds Mr. and Mrs. Diemer. More and more wedding parties, bachelor and bachelorette parties are making Cowboy Bill's their destination for a great time under the stars at Key West's only Country Bar.

We don't know who they were, but the lit up the dancefloor with their smiles and wild dancing.


Here they are again singing and dancing to "Redneck Woman" by Gretchen Wilson

Craig's dog takes a breather. Some nights, maybe 4 or 5 dogs are in here with their owners. Visitors love a bar where water bowls are set out for man's best friends.

Mr. Rawlings of Scarekrow sings one


Wendylicious and some of her customers at the Saloon Bar

Bo Allen scores a perfect 10 on his Scarekrow pose



Wait. Maybe Bo was superglued to the front of Rick's new aquarium?


Coming back atcha, Bo Allen, with two shots of the crowd doing the Scarekrow call and response.


Eric, bassplayer for Scarekrow and boyfriend to a young lady we want cloned five or six times for our security staff.


Craig poses KJ's dog on the bull


T-shirt says "Dog Gone Wild!"

Two beauties window shopping the band



Photos of Westley Butler Band's last set on Saturday, their last night in town. This was their best set of the week. We plied them with alcohol and they turned into the Guns and Roses of Country. What a set!

The crowd laughing at the amount of Jagerbomgs consumed by the band in just the first 15 minutes of the set

Ron Rice Paddie spanking the dance pole with his whips.



Two photos of Hotties on the dancefloor



Whoots! There it is! Just another normal Saturday Night at Cowboy Bill's.

Ron Rice Paddie, his orange crocs and clam digger pants, attracts babes into the "Hoop of Groove"

Chad the drummer for Westley Butler Band eyes the last Jager Bomb before falling off stage into a heap with the rest of the Boyz. Once again, a new band pays its dues at a hard core Country Honky Tonk, Cowboy Bill's!


At this point, Westley Butler Band was singing in a slurred Swahili and propped up by superglued feet to the floor.


Dancefloor ladies are laughing at the band being silly.















Chad the Drummer showing us his best bass stance. This was after about 18 Jagerbombs done in 45 minutes.


Westley Butler laughing at Chad swimming around inside the Drummer's Aquarium filled with Jagermeister.

Dancers, keep dancing!

Ladies, you're too sexy for the Cowboy in the corner.



What a beauty and what a beautiful smile!


Westley Butler, singing, has one of the best baritones in Country. We love the way he sings Garry Allan.






The above three shots are before Westley Butler's first set at 10:00 PM Saturday Night

Pretty women who walked into the bar early and stayed late.

Another blonde beauty enjoys the bull. I hear it feels "good" from the gals. No comment.
