The phrase has been ruined for me.
We had a little thing at a Saturday evening service at the Synagogue -- a brief service transitioning into a little acoustic singer/songwriter concert. A member of the congregation -- herself a singer (an opera singer) -- introduced the singer/songwriter, her sister. As part of the intro, she acknowledged, in a very exaggerated accent, that they "come from a musical fahm-ih-ly." We all chuckled. Because we've heard it before. And because, yeah, we knew that the daughters of Pinchas Zukerman came from a musical family.
And now I just think my own is . . . well, not that musical.
