Video of James Marsters and son playing and singing. Sullivan is cute as a bug and a chip off the old block. Hope they post more of these.

Wow. That was great.

alexreager | April 06, 14:21 CET

Oh, thank you so very much for this, made me smile in a very bad day...

JotheCat | April 06, 14:23 CET

Glad I could brighten your day JotheCat. Started mine off with a smile also.

rehabber | April 06, 15:20 CET

They're both left handed, and Sullivan has inherited his father's handsome genes.

Nebula1400 | April 06, 15:30 CET

They're not left-handed; it's a reflection. Look at James's shirt.

Taaroko | April 06, 15:38 CET

Though JM is left handed but doesn't play guitar left-handed.

helcat | April 06, 16:17 CET

What a beautiful treat!

caeli | April 06, 16:25 CET

I knew JM had a son but I didn't realize how old he is. I was expecting a toddler trying to sing along with dad. This was a pleasant surprise. Sullivan is obviously a talented kid and will grow up to be just as handsome as his father.

Whisper | April 06, 17:02 CET

That was really sweet. Love the song. Thanks for sharing.

hazyone101 | April 06, 17:31 CET

This was the first time I saw his son. It was great to see both of them playing together. Thanks for posting the video!

Ameer | April 06, 18:10 CET

One lyric was "I'm more than twice your age and I'm in love with you." Oh, you cradle robber James.

FaithsTruCalling | April 06, 18:13 CET

I caught that too, FaithsTruCalling. It's interesting to me because my dad is also a musician and songwriter, and I grew up listening to him sing about adult subjects. He also ended up marrying someone less than half his age last year. A year older than me in fact. So it made me a little uncomfortable. Kind of like being around my dad does.

However, there is no question that his son looks a lot like him, especially in profile. He was excellent with his electric guitar. Oh, how I remember sitting around with my dad and our guitars, singing the songs he wrote about cheating on my mother. Where's my therapist's phone number again? ;)

ailiel | April 06, 18:49 CET

Wow, I definitely see the resemblance. Although his son didn't get his hair. ;)

fortunateizzi | April 06, 19:05 CET

Love that guy. Cute kid. Nice song. Rock on.

Sly | April 06, 19:54 CET

That was cool, nice song too.

Gota luv that Buffy | April 06, 19:55 CET

Now I have to find that YouTube account I had a life time ago...

Heck, I'll make a new one!

I can see the young Mr. Marsters being just like his dad. Man, did he grow! Mini-"William"! Hee.

Another brilliant subscription for me.

Jayme | April 06, 20:40 CET

They're already posting other videos! Wow, James has always been so protective when it came to his family that I never though we would see much of Sullivan..But apparently Sullivan is a little artist as well and wants to start showing himself.. lucky us, they're just adorable together!!! Also, he's exactly how I've always thought James' son would be...so very cute!

JotheCat | April 06, 20:52 CET

OK. I stand corrected. Not left handed. Bad, bad me.

Nebula1400 | April 06, 20:55 CET

Also subscribed. Very nice song.

korkster | April 06, 21:21 CET

This was nice.

I knew our sons were the same age but I was not expecting them to have almost the same out-of-style haircut. Interesting.

newcj | April 06, 22:21 CET

newcj, that haircut is quite the thing at my middle daughter's school. Of course, we may be behind the fashion curve here. :)

Nice song, and great to see them playing together.

ActualSize | April 06, 22:49 CET

Great song!

filmtx | April 06, 23:43 CET

Anyone else surprised that JM is posting this on Youtube and not his own website, especially after years of not sharing much about his son?

I really wonder if this is actually JM doing this(despite the name). Could be Sullivan, himself, or a third party(which would be gross, yes).

syd | April 07, 01:35 CET

I suspect Sullivan. Then again, the boy's growing up. Maybe he asked his dad to do it.

redeem147 | April 07, 02:09 CET

I would think Sullivan was behind this, notice that James always has Sullivan in the spotlight. Have really enjoyed them, hope they don't stop. The word spread like wildfire in a very short time.

rehabber | April 07, 02:16 CET

Whether James or Sullivan, they are adorable together - both 'in concert' and as auteurs of the EPIC FILM!!

baxter | April 07, 03:06 CET

My money is on James himself rather than his son, mainly because his son would probably be web-savvy enough to use the 'tags' field correctly ;)

ruuger | April 07, 11:44 CET

I don't know what rock I've been living under but I didn't even know that James had a son. He's adorable. I see the resemblance. It was a pretty song. I'd love to have a louder version - it was quite soft on my laptop.

CrystalSC | April 07, 16:31 CET

Yes you are right ruuger, I had forgotten that tag thing. funny.

rehabber | April 07, 18:00 CET

Actually the mix up with the tags, the flipping of the first vid, and the misspelling is what made me think it was the son over JM.

syd | April 07, 20:10 CET

I was gonna say that it had to be James, even with the spelling problem, since there was a certain "proud papa" feel, especially to the yo-yo thing. Then I re-watched that video, and I guess it could also be just a kid discovering the joy of video cameras + internet. Who knows? Either way, it was a nice song, and they seem to really enjoy each other. Neat!
