A 6-piece Alt-Western band for the
folk weary and
the lost believers of country music.
Plaster Cowboys are from
Guelph, Ontario. A six piece roots rock outfit that plays
firebrand folk. Not just guitar slingers, the Plaster Cowboy's
music rides from beers and tears to politically charged and emotional
insights into the "new west". Dusty vocals with strong harmonies and
kick ass accompaniment from a very well ridden posse who are the
Kramdens when not riding with
Dave Teichroeb.

Plaster Cowboy (Dave Teichroeb
2004 Socan)
(The Plaster Cowboy is a real statue that
stands out front
of Bernardi
Precast on Elizabeth Street in Guelph Ontario, Canada. )
Have I told you bout the plaster cowboy Fingers Findlay
At Bernardi pre-cast concrete
He rides tall in the saddle
With a smile and a wave
On his horse he stands nearly ten feet
All the men wish they were him
And the women wanna hold his gun
Gravity killed his father
Left him a rooster for a partner Knoxville Steve
He’d leave town but he weighs 5 tons
The plaster cowboy is how dreams get cast
Concrete rebar and some paint
You can say you're leaving town
But you're cemented to the ground
As you slowly chip and fade
He was seen at all the fancy parties
At the Cutten club he could make’n laugh
No one stops anymore and says
Can I Take your picture mister? Slim Will
ie
His hat was stolen 5 years back
chorus
His dream was to stand in the downtown
And say howdy to all the passers by
Instead there's a naked family
Showing all their parts and pieces
Holding a baby up to the sky
chorus
So go see the plaster cowboy
And I'm sure you'll hear him say
Glad to meet you sir
Or why thank you kindly ma'am
Right fine of you to pass by my way
Duster Dave Craiger
