 I tried to find an obscure picture of Bob minus his hat and stories thinking it  might be bit harder alas twas not

G'day Graham,

Spent quite a bit of time in Texas and enjoy country music, just unlucky I follow this thread.

Bit tied up at the moment, will post another image later today.

As promised, who is this bloke?

Know the face, but the name won't come.  We need clues.

He's a famous/infamous American.

My memory and your clue made me think that the photo looks like some images of Wyatt Earp, US lawman.

 Spot on Ted, well done.

Wyatt Berry Stapp Earp was an American lawman and gambler in the American West, including Dodge City, Deadwood, and Tombstone. Earp took part in the famous gunfight at the O.K. Corral, during which lawmen killed three outlaw Cochise County Cowboys.

Thanks Santa. A bit of something just now as I read, it seems the connection between Earp and Buntline pistols is not quite like it was shown to be in old TV shows.

I have a new image for naming, probably easy for some. Looks like a movie director, but not.

Jackie Stewart F1 driver

Yes, correct Gundog. Very quick identification.

The last time that I saw Jackie Stewart on TV was an episode of "Top Gear", where Jackie was coaching James May how to drive faster, with his braking and out of corner acceleration techniques. A younger work colleague remarked about seeing that episode and said how this old bloke (unknown to my work mate) was telling James May how to drive.

I suppose you will have another for us.

Edit: oops, I forgot a short bio.  See below:

Jackie Stewart-

An Aussie

Another hint he was a member of the house band at Opus Up Town  which was in the St Kilda town hall in the late 60's

The band he played in used Maton El Toro Guitars

A new pic with is wife might help
