My friend, its been years that I ask myself this question, and I'm afraid to upset you when I have no such desire.
You have written : "Maximillian Silberman, Geoff Burns, and Ricky Bennick".
As regards the first comma, no problem.
As regards the second one, I don't understand.
A comma is made to separate, while "and" is made to reunite.
I think that it can be no comma just before "and", but I may be wrong.
We have a maxim that says "other countries, other customs", and perhaps is it customary in USA ?
But, on the other hand, sometimes there is this comma, and sometimes not.
Thanks before hand for your answer.
Friendly.

Dear French Patrick, the answer to this question that's been on your mind for years is that English is not my mother language. In fact, I mostly learned it on my own without much professional study. Punctuation is one of my weak points, so I could very well be wrong in the placement of the comma.

Another weak point is that I inadvertently pronounce 'P' as 'b', but thankfully that doesn't show or come across on the blog :)

Thanks again for your kind answer.
I'm just sure that in France we don't have (or better said we must not have) a comma (which separate) before one "&" wich unite), and it stands to reason.
English is not my mother language too. I've learn it at school, and i've had no practise since my 18yo. I have restart it 3 years ago (I'm now 67yo) only to communicate with my friends on their blogs (and now on my blog), and it remains only a "French" (= not very good) English speaking.
Have a great day.

in english, "and" can be preceeded by comma.

Thanks, JPollard
It's what I've said: "other countries, other customs", and we have to respect them.
Friendly.

in English you can use a coma before and in a list ( list of gorgeous men in this case)
