I like stories of children entering the family business.

Last night Shelly and I attended Gregg Allman's Laidback Festival at Jones Beach. One of many highlights involved a son playing just before his father's gig.  Devon Allman played a strong set on the “Low Country Stage” ahead of his dad's set on the Laid Back Stage. Waiting for the son's set after Orleans really great set ended we chatted with a few couples we met there. One couple shared plans to take in the Festival at Red Rocks in Colorado. I pointed to the artwork (see below) adorning my tee-shirt

and shared “this guy (Richie Furay) is playing there too."

Just as Gregg's son plays, Richie's daughter, Jesse Furay Lynch, also sings in her dad's band; Jesse just released her own album, available on her dad's website store.

Several friends have a son or daughter in the family business or (same) profession.

While neither son or daughter took up the law or the political life, both enjoy the gift of writing and know how to message succinctly and thoughtfully.

Does your child follow your path? Do you want that? Share your comment.
