"On the way to work today I was listening to Gas House Gang's Fifth.

I started thinking about the fact that Kipp Buckner is a two-time champ, and his dad Ken is a seniors champ with The Barons. And Kipp's brother Todd was a quartet medalist in CAR a few years ago. And of course there were the Henry brothers, too. And they're all chorus champs, too, some many times over.

So then I started thinking about all the families that are really like dynasties in our hobby. Wow!

There are lots of well-documented brother/brother combinations, and a few father/son ones ... How about the others, like husband/wife, brother/sister, uncle/nephew, mother/daughter, etc. A few I can think of off the top of my head are listed below. And I just keep thinking of more ...
