I had a couple of important parts. As I town person I had a fight with Doug Griffin, blaming him for taking my hat. Right after the fight I sang the song, "A Man Without a Hat." I use to be so winded from the fight, the singing would give me a head ache.

My other important part was holding the horses for the bank robbery, and singing "Brother's Keeper" around the camp fire as we schemed.
It was a fun outdoor production. We had guns, and learned the hard way, blanks are not totally safe. We had horses and wagons. I was never one for riding horses, but I did for the theater. I rode quite a bit getting use to the horse. Chris Piner, who played Sundance, talked about making the horses go fast with a good kick with the spurs. It was a scene where he and Butch robbed the Montpelier Bank. I held the horses for them while they went in. They come out for our get-away. I used the spurs. I did this only once, because I almost fell off the horse. My horse would follow theirs going fast anyway.
