But Trucks and Tedeschi said they have not worried about giving the children a traditional upbringing. "What's normal?" Tedeschi said with a shrug.
"I don't think that's even something to strive for in 2000-whatever," Trucks said. "It's fun having a house full of musicians and instruments and kids. There's drum sets and pianos and tympanis and all kinds of fun stuff to bang on, make noise on."
There are also moments like the time Charlie, at four months old, ended up onstage with his mother and father during a Les Paul gig at the Iridium club in New York. And the time he met B.B. King, who gave Charlie a guitar pin off his lapel. "It's cool stuff that he'll look back on when he's older," Trucks said.
The couple anticipate slowing down a little once Charlie and Sophia are old enough for school, with at least one of them home at any given time. But for now, they can look forward to December, a month they set aside to be at home, or at least together. Last New Year's Eve, their extended families,
musical and otherwise, gathered for a joint show in Atlanta.
