Barney had a bar in LA named Barney Steel's South but it folded. Barney is on facebook (or was) but I can't get him to friend me so I think he and Mike may have had a falling out and he's not opening up to anyone connected to the bar. Barney was quite a character. Firm believer in John Wayne and Hank Williams. I may write a bit of fiction based on some of the denizens of the bar. It ran for twenty years and I saw a Lot of horses on the carousel so to speak. Not sure if he did any more comics or not. I've seen some of his arcrylic artwork. He had some good stuff, that's for sure. I believe he's married with at least one child but can't say for sure.

Was the music saloon by the same name owned by this artist? I've wondered for decades what became of this comics artist. Thanks for any info you might have.
