I come from a musical family. My late father, Sid Siegel, wrote industrial musicals, jingles and scored independent films. My Dad, was a talented guy and pretty famous in the Chicago area. He was dubbed the George Gershwin of this most unusual genre, Industrial Musicals, by former Chicago Sun-Times writer Dave Hoekstra. The Harvard Business Review examined his work as a motivational tool. In 2013, David Letterman played one of his songs on his TV show, after one his former writers, Steve Young, wrote a book about the genre. In 2018, Steve Young  released the critically hailed and award winning documentary, "Bathtubs Over Broadway." This movie highlights the lives of composers, dancers, singers, actors and writers, like my Dad, that got their start in these shows that were bigger than Broadway productions of the day. It's available on Netflix. It's a sweet movie and received a 100% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

My late Uncle Bert and his wife, Joan, were both violinists with the Cleveland Symphony Orchestra. 

While my mother is not a musician, she comes from a long line of entertainers. My Aunt Dodie was a Ziegfeld Girl  and her brother, Uncle Ted, was a comedian and a writer on the Sonny and Cher Show. He was also a showbiz partner with Carol Burnett regular, Harvey Korman. 

My brother, David Siegel is currently an orchestrator in New York and has done work for Disney, Television and Broadway.
