I read this story in the Chronicle's Datebook today about the Sherman Brothers (not the group in the picture, I just liked the cover). They were the composers of several songs - most memorably (at least for me) the songs in the Mary Poppins movie. Although they were successful working together, apparently, outside the studio they couldn't stand each other. The families were estranged until two cousins from each side got together and made a documentary that is about to hit theaters this week. It sounds like an interesting story!
