Thanks to social media I was able to reconnect with Charlie McCord’s father. I first meet Charlie’s father in the Green Room of The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. Vanna was a guest and his dad was promoting his hit song “At This Moment”. Charlie is the son of Billy Vera, one the most amazing singers I know, with a career that expands over 60 yrs. Like his father Charlie is a singer and musician, had a band with his brother and also produces for video productions. I really enjoyed learning about Charlie’s music career and what it’s like being the son of a Hollywood musical legend.

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.

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. However it wasn’t until years later that she told me about her father, a well known Canadian singer songwriter. As the podcast grew and I was thinking of guest I Googled her father, Marty Butler and listened to his music. Well, his daughter Kimberly has a great story of blended families, pharmaceutical sales, single motherhood, real-estate, a new home and a deep love for her father, his music and songs, including Fly Little White Dove Fly that he wrote for The Bells. Marty also gave piano lessons to Anne Murray. Marty’s death from Aids in 1996 lead Kimberley on the journey to become deeply involved in Aids charity work. #Trinilopez #thescptres
