Vic Farrell is a singer/songwriter who digs the "anti-folk" genre. Vic lives in Melbourne these days, but not so long ago she was a resident of Sydney. The 1st time Buck heard Vic perform this song was at one of Dennis Aubrey's regular songwriter's nights and he was immediately taken by the song and its country swing sensibility. He told Vic that it was one of the best songs she'd ever written and he and Deanne added to their repertoire immediately. Buck & Deanne's version leans more towards Rudi Valley and the ukelele craze of the 1920s jazz era. They perform it here LIVE at St. Albans Folk Festival 2009.

Buck & Deanne performing LIVE at St. Albans Folk Festival New South Wales: a cover of the 1989 hit by Guns & Roses "Patience." This song was written by the rhythm guitarist Izzy Stradlin who left the band in 1991. Someone said Izzy was in the audience the day Buck & Deanne performed this classic hit, but they were mistaken. It was Slash.

Filmed in and around Tamworth N.S.W during the 2009 Country Music Festival, this is the 5th film clip from dynamic duo Buck & Deanne, an inspired little ditty originally titled "Buck's 99th Cowboy Blues," dropped in favour of "The Cowboy Song" (till Buck realised Thin Lizzy had beaten him to it). The tag line: "I Just Don't See Why I Should Even Care" seemed just a teensy weensy bit t-o-o-o long. So the decision was made: Let the public decide. A competition to name the song went online in February 2009. As of March 25 2009, including both Buck's vote & Deanne's, the total number of entrants had doubled to two. Proving once again a prophet has no honour, Buck & Deanne strummed their lonesome tune and headed out to the range. They were picked up by a rescue crew 36 hours later and sternly chastised for not adequately preparing for such a trip.


We dont care about tents, canteens and rations, Buck told the Care Flight Helicopter pilot.


The pilot shook his head. Bloody cowboy, he said. A touch nihilistic, arent you?


Thats when it hit Buck; the steel super structure of the helicopter as Buck sat bolt upright on the gurney. When he came to an hour later, the title was stuck fast inside his brain (held in place by seven stitches and 3 metres of gauze: The Nihilistic Cowboy (on the range) and thus so it is, and thus so shall it always be.


Deanne smiled: This song is also available as audio on Buck & Deanne's Myspace page thank you.

Keith Richards once said, "Any band can be the greatest rock N roll band in the world, depending on the night." Paul Buckberry once said, "Any person can be the luckiest person on earth, depending on what day it is."

Which is really another way of saying "Mr X Dead" to a whole bunch of people who never knew Mr X was alive.
