Many examples of this. Matty MAtlock's son, Bud, was a fineguitarist. Tom
Pletcher's father was Stewart Pletcher of the Red Norvo band. John 
Willams (film composer) dad was drummer woth Raymonf Scott Quintett and 
a studio musicasian. Perry "Bunny" Botkin, fillm snad recording 
composer/arranger the son of Perry Botkin, Bing Crosby's loong-time 
guitarist - and the list goes on. Of course
I count myself inthatbunch as son of Red Ingle, Goldkette alumni and Ted 
Weems, Spike Jones,and his own Natural Seven bands. Iamsure that this is 
more often ahappening thanmost would think, but you got to admit the 
exposure to themusic and styles comes easy with blood ties.
