    Chip Off the Old Block (part 4 of 4) - Season 7 Episode 4

    As we wrap up our look at the famous musicans whose parents were also famous musicians, we can't help but think about how delightful it must be to grow up with musical talent and encouragement and yet how hard it also must be to step out of mom or dad's shadow and do things your own way. We celebrate these hard-working entertainers for all their efforts to bring better music to the world.

    We've been waiting to do this one for quite a while! Let's talk about how famous musicians have children who in turn grow up to be famous musicians! It's a huge industry, and as they say, 'The apple doesn't fall far from the tree.' Some amazing talent came from learning beside mom or dad, and we love being able to share that with you.

Trentonius Maximus, huh? 😉

These guys are cute and consistent. They’ve been around a while now but continue to keep things moving by varying the songs and styles they highlight. I wish them the very best.

Rock Talk with a Positive Note

Steve Atkins is The Limey, and Blake Bennett is The Yank. They talk about rock & roll they love, with lots of humor, and debate whose music is better. It says Parental Advisory, but it's pretty tame. They know a lot about music, and it's fun to remember (or hear new stuff) when they play snippets of songs.
