One of my prized possessions is a signed concert program from Ringo Starr’s All Star Band 1989 tour. What I love about this program is that Clarence “The Big Man” Clemons signed it, I’ve be a fan of The Big Man for years. So when I saw his son Nick Clemons posting on Facebook I had to reach out and ask him to be a guest. Nick is also a musician with his own band and style of music. He recalls the first time he played with his dad, meeting Clarence’s bandmates, discovering how world respected his dad is and striving to keep his father’s legacy in the public eye with The Big Man’s Brew and possibly reopening his father’s nightclub.

On this episode of Relatively Famous I take the word relative literally. In early December 2024 my nephew, Vanna’s son Nikko Santo Pietro became an internet sensation when a Wheel of Fortune food video went viral. Suddenly “Vanna’s HOT son” was the talk of the town. During Nikko’s 30 years on this planet we have had some conversations on life, we’ve shot fireworks, we’ve played on the beach and I’ve enjoyed his cooking. In this episode he and I talk about his life as a farmer, a bread maker, a real estate agent, being an internet heartthrob, the son of a celebrity and the man he is today. Nikko is a man not afraid to keep reinventing himself as he grows. I really enjoyed spending this 40 or so minutes with my nephew and I believe you will too!

This episode’s interview came out of left field for me. I’ve spent the last 50 yrs quoting lines from her father’s films with my friends only to discover she has been a makeup artist of Wheel of Fortune for 20 yrs. Yep Clint Eastwood’s daughter Kimber Eastwood Midkiff has been an actor like her father but prefers being behind the camera producing and doing makeup. She doesn’t live the Hollywood highlife you’d expect of an Eastwood and love to drive the country with her husband and dogs.

This episode’s guest, Kimberly Butler McMillan, I met way back when the short film, A Chess Player that I produced, was screening in the Beaufort International Film Festival.
