| Stevie was a (distant) cousin of mine. I found out at a family reunion because my grandmother was bragging on me after finding out I made more money that year on my cover-band gig than I did at my real job as an electronic technician. All these old, allegedly related people kept coming up to me and saying "Oh ? You're a musician? Do you know Jim and Martha's boys? They play too."
And I would reply in a very small and somewhat humiliated voice, after I had found out who 'Jim and Martha's boys' were. "Yes. I know. I have all their albums."
It was embarassing.
