Never fell far from the tree

Here's a clip from the Fred Waring Show. My grandfather, Leonard Kranendonk, and my uncle, Robert Kranendonk, were both featured singers with Waring's Pennsylvanians. In my family, being a professional singer was a normal occupation, and a real job.

I am tickled to see my granddad -  a glorious singer but never much of an actor - smiling and mugging for the camera. And they are managing props, too!

It's in the blood. Wait till you hear my sister...
