Six Degrees: Round One



Six Degrees of Musical Separation--standard Kevin Bacon rules apply, sans the Kevin Bacon (at least until I work in the Bacon Brothers). Producers, offspring, lovers, mentors, fellow musicians, etc., are all fair game. Since this is going to become a regular feature, challenges are not only welcomed, but encouraged and should be e-mailed to me or left in a comment.



Bob Dylan made several babies with his first wife, Sara Lownds, the youngest being Jakob. George Harrison of Beatles, also made some babies, one being Dhani Harrison. Dhani and Jakob would later grow up to become musicians like their papas. This would ultimately lead to them collaborating on a cover of John Lennon's "Gimme Some Truth." Dhani appeared on the Wu-Tang's latest group effort, 8 Diagrams, on the track, "The Heart Gently Weeps"--a re-working of The Beatles's "While My Guitar Gently Weeps." Huzzah!
