We used to really feel like the band was our family.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
We were really grown up for our age and it was an incredible special band.
My family wasn't in the music business, but they loved music.
I feel so lucky to have been in a group where it was a real band. This wasn't a singer and guitar player and some other guys.
I think everybody had difficulties with that dynamic, turning the family into a band and being constantly together. So everybody, as individuals. had things to sort out.
I came from a huge extended family of musicians.
In the '80s the band was 24/7. You were only as good as what you were producing at any given moment. Now my family is more important. I also think having the shock of your mum and dad dying humbles you slightly.
My family was very musical. My brother is an opera singer; my parents both sang.
We worked as a team... I was one of the band.
My family's a very musical family, so music's always been a part of my life.
I wish I could tell you me and my rock band were traveling around, strung out. No, we were a family band. Straight Partridge Family.
