One of my mother's cousins was a backup singer to various Italian singers/performers such as Frank Sinatra and marquee performer in his own right in Steubenville around the time that Dean Martin (or as my mom's family calls him, Dino Crocetti) became really popular. He was a pretty slick cat and we have some sweet autographed photographs of him with some pretty legendary jazz musicians and its pretty cool. He was one swarthy dago though gatdam

yeah his name was Gene Arcade, but apparently he must not have been much other than a regional performer because google searching only pulls in some very obscure references on 50s and 60s music archive webpages. and image search is worthless.

my grandmother on my mom's side's maiden name was james, and i think jesse james was her grandfather or great uncle or something. so that would make him my great great grandfather//great great great uncle. also my dad's dad was reasonably well known in nigeria as like an ARISTOCRAT but i don't think he was famous.

If that is the case, then we are partly related. I'm related to Jesse James from my mother's side. This has been confirmed to me from numerous members of my family.

Doesn't this mean that you and your family are the product of inbreeding?(im pretty sure james married his direct cousin and had three children with her)

My grand dad is more like an important person, rather than a famous one.

http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jos%C3%A9_Antonio_Padilla_Segura (spanish wikipedia omg)

My favorite of his accomplishments (he has many) is his Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire (KBE) medal.

My family is not famous and I really don't care about it, since one of my friends is pretty closely related to President Bush. I would really shoot myself it that was my case. I really don't want to be the one carrieng his genes.

Well it could mean "brother" in the street sense of the word, like she is related to a good friend of pocohontas' husband.

A friend of mine swears that he is the distant cousin of Steve Vai and that another member of his family has one of Vai's original Ibanez guitars from his childhood.

alexander or alex or al or something i think

i remember posting a topic in music when i was a new member about a final fantasy concert and apparently some gw member is the brother of owen pallet from final fantasy/arcade fire.

edit: iirc he wasn't really a member of the arcade fire but he contributed violin to a lot of the songs and final fantasy was like his thing

No way! Man, ...Has A Good Home is a brilliant CD. We should get him back here.
