Degrees of Separation

So, I've been reading that big Jaime Hernandez coffee table book I referenced a few posts back, and I realized I was only a few degrees of separation from Los Bros Hernandez.

Ready? Here we go... My mom's sister Genevieve was a script supervisor in Hollywood for decades. She notably worked on sitcoms in the late sixties and early seventies;  sitcoms such as The Partridge Family and The Courtship of Eddie's Father.

(It was through Aunt Genevieve that I was introduced to Gordon Jump (Mr. Carlson from "WKRP in Cincinnati") in 1976... but that's another story.)

Anyhow, "Eddie" on Courtship was played by actor Brandon Cruz. Brandon later fronted the "Nardcore" band Dr. Know. The bass player in Dr. Know was Ismael Hernandez, brother of Jaime and Gilbert.

So, how many degrees does that make?
Me -- Aunt Genevieve
Aunt Genevieve -- Brandon Cruz
Brandon Cruz -- Ismael Hernandez
Ismael Hernandez -- Los Bros Hernandez.

Cool!

but is it a "dirty" another story about Gordon Jump?

No, that's just squicky!
