The videos below were recorded at Skeeter's Mesquite Grill in Town and Country Village of Houston, Texas. Watch as the band takes you back in time, like "The Sons of the Pioneers" of old traveling from place to place taking Western Music to the crowds along the way.
Tumbling Tumbleweeds - This song, written by Bob Nolan of "Sons of the Pioneers", is the number one all time Western Song and one of the most beautiful ever written.  This video features our leader Wiley Pat Gavin singing lead being joined by Cactus Curtis Davis and Bronco Brad Ottosen with some fine harmonies.


Ghost Riders in the Sky - This old song has been sung by so many groups there is not enough space to list them.  The song, sung by Vaughn Monroe, was number 1 on the Billboard Charts on the day our leader Wiley Pat Gavin was born.  Pat does a fine job singing lead being joined by Cactus Curtis Davis and Bronco Brad Ottosen with some remarkable harmonies.  Watch this video and you will be humming it all day.... Yippie Yi Yeaaa... Yippy Yi YO-O-O... Ghost Riders in the Sky.


Oklahoma Hills - Written by Woody Guthrie and later changed by his brother Jack Guthrie, this song has become a Western Swing Classic.  The Buckaroo Band rendition features Cactus Curtis Davis singing lead being joined by our leader Wiley Pat Gavin and Bronco Brad Ottosen on the chorus.


That's Why I'll Never Be Anything But A Cowboy - This is one of those more recent cowboy songs written by the great Jack Hannah of the "Sons of San Joaquin".   This video features Bronco Brad Ottosen on the Bunkhouse Bass singing lead being joined by our leader Wiley Pat Gavin and Cactus Curtis Davis with some fine harmonies.


I'm and Old Cowhand - This is a comic song written by Johnny Mercer for the film Rhythm on the Range and sung by its star, Bing Crosby. The Crosby recording with Jimmy Dorsey & his Orchestra was a hit in 1936, and greatly furthered Mercer's career.  The lyrics, about a 20th century cowboy who has little in common with cowpunchers of old features fiddle player and showman extraordinaire Bad Bob Rohan singing lead.  He is is joined by our leader Wiley Pat Gavin, Cactus Curtis Davis and Bronco Brad Ottosen on the chorus.
