Evolutionary Fathers

Today's birthday father, Charles Darwin (Happy 200th, Chuck!), constructed a mathematical (?) proof as a boy that convinced him marriage was the right course. Among the positives he found to outweigh the negatives was the potential joy of having children — he was father to 10 — even as his own father decried his likely ability to amount to anything (eighth and fifth paragraphs).

Naturally speaking, Darwin is thought of as "father to the theory of evolution." It's a theory (which is scientific speak for "what we really believe") that says (sorta) that while Julian Coryell is likely to be a guitar player like his father, jazz master Larry, it is also likely that the Coryell, Auger, Sample Trio — the CAST of Coolidge Returns! — will have evolved to a slightly different sound than what one hears when their famous dads play. And so they do.
