Artist description The band is composed of a lead singer, who dosen't sing, he tells stories to music, and when the mood inspires him he sings. He is like William Shatner without the Enterprize and Priceline. We had 2 female back up singers, a lead and rythym guitarist. A bass guitarist and a drummer. The music is pop rock oriented. It's lively and has nice rock and roll hooks. Frank Swanson always has a story to tell. The title of our first work, "HOT AIR " says it all! PLEASE NOTE THAT THE KNOWLEDGE AND PROGRESS WEB SITE HAS BEEN REMOVED AT THE OLD ADDRESS, IT RETURNS SHORTLY .... THERE IS MORE TO COME.... JERRY 5/18/2001 .... Alert 7/14/2001 Frank Swawnson and the Buzzards have return to writing new music. At the present time there is an artistic between members of the band over a new song, titled "Mission to Mars" it seem as if frank does not want to perform this work he says it doesn't make any sense (does frank make any sense? ) and it is up in the air as to what direction the new cd will take. The story is developing ... .. keep rocking .......7/14/2001 Jerry Buzzard Hot Line 1/27/2002.... After a long dry spell the Buzzards have completed two new songs, "Gonna Ride Again" and "I am Frank Swanson, I'm the Man ". The song " Gonna Ride Again" in already posted on mp3.com, just scroll to the bottom of the page. It's a pop song about reactivation. Frank is featured on the new classic, "I am Frank Swanson, I'm the man". This is Frank's response to a young critic and his version of the history of himself and the Buzzards. Frank has a very high opinion of himself as you will hear. This song is awaiting approval and should be up on mp3.com shortly. Expect "Mission to Mars" in the near future. The Buzzards do not have a web site at present but this too will change. Keep checking in... Jerry
