Saturday Morning Rock Out!

Buster's band is called the Smoke Bears. His stage name is Rock Pirate. Here he is mingling with the crowd before his first show. Note how easily he mixes with the rabble.

The first band -- Disco Pirates Online ... Rock! -- plays its song, "Mountain Danger Snowy Mountain."

At this point, there should be a video of the Smoke Bears playing their song "Japanese Wars," but this Web site has not been able to secure the rights. Protracted negotiations are ongoing, lawyers have been hired, accusations of selling out have been flung, etc. etc. You've changed, man. Anyway, we're working on it. In the meantime, here is Susan just after having scored a treasure that will no doubt end up at the Smithsonian: Buster's first autograph, scribbled insouciantly on a lyric sheet.


After the show, the doors opened and the crowd spilled out onto Folsom Street, still bopping, spreading the magic of the Disco Pirates Online ... Rock! and the Smoke Bears far and wide. Or at least about halfway from 17th Street to 18th.

Space Is My Mama

A song by Buster

Space is my mama
Space takes care of me
Space gives me lunch and dinner
Space takes me to school
I really care about my mama

I love my space
All I care about is that she's my mama

Glossies

The first week of the year there was a phase of posing for publicity photos.








And then a performance photo.

The light isn't a light. It's a microphone.

Saturday

Rehearsing.

Jumping.

Looking cool.

Smoke Along the Track/Christmas medley

Buster and Daisy share the kitchen -- er, stage, for a joint concert. The intro is as directed by Buster, who you might hear stage-whispering from the next room, in case Dad doesn't get it right.

Concert

Dad plays the 6-string while Buster and Daisy sing -- not the same song -- and play their "guitars," which look suspiciously like stuffed animals. This is a historic photo, the first time the King Teen has ever been the most accomplished musician onstage.

Publicity shot. Perhaps we should have moved the box.
