My Mom was a tremendous pianist, concert quality and never pursued it at all. When I first moved, I gave several volumes of manuscript that she played regularly to a friend that graduated from Oberlin as a piano major, truly excellent. she looked through it and her first comment was, "You've got to be kidding!" ITs some of her favorite stuff now. But my Mom was famous only to me and a few others (like my grandparents whom she disappointed no end). In any case, no, I have zilch for famous relatives, musical or otherwise.

Now she hasn't posted here, but Barbara Blessings, a long time 'Catter and the creator of Cleigh O'Possum is married to the grandson of George Leigh Mallory, the extremely famous and legendary climber who went missing on a summit attempt on Everest on June 8, 1924. His body was recently found ('99) and I know Barb had a tough time handling all the publicity at the time, but THAT is a famous relative!!!
