The Origin of SPAM

PHOTOS WITH WILL ... only $1.00


A friend of mine, Will .... a saddlemaker from Bunger, Texas - hereafter known as the Garden Spot of the Universe.

“Now hang Me” this wild cowboy said
“I’ll rush in and paint the town red”
But alas for his plan
He encountered a man
Who buried him… ‘cause he was dead.

Will and Jim


During the San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo in 2001, myself, Will Burgess (right) and Rick McCumber (left) stopped at a Jim's Restaurant to grab a bite to eat. We were amazed at the likeness between Will and Jim. I believe Will was unaware at the time.
