Those who'd like to get a glimpse of what some past shows looked like will want to hop over to the galleries at BuckyFanPics for two fresh and exciting photo sets by AmaTexMom. Bucky, Rocky, Don, Shaun and Hans rocked the house and put a big smile on one lovely Texas birthday girl's face. You'll find her Katy shots here, and her San Antonio gallery here. Huge thanks to AmaTexMom for sharing!On the charts, Bucky's new single "It's Good to Be Us" is holding its ground at #30 on the Mediabase Top 500 and #32 on the weighted listings for the second straight day.
