I was watching the show 1883 with my folks up in Porcupine Plain, Saskatchewan and saw The White Elephant, a bar in the Fort Worth Stockyards in Texas, U.S.A. I just played at a few weeks ago.
In the show, the sheriff character of Billy Bob Thornton shot someone at The White Elephant and Tim McGraw was in the scene, too.
My folks were like holy crap! that’s where Sheldon was.
The White Elephant website tells all about the story of the famous shoot out. Learn more on History.net here .
Thanks to my buddy Taylor Lewis for taking me to the Stockyards, and Rachel Stacy for letting me get up to play one of my songs.
