Can You Guess Who This Violinist Is?

Here are a few clues…

He is a descendant of Edward Rutledge, a signer of The Declaration of Independence. For many years, he was the conductor of Arthur Godfrey’s orchastra on his radio and television shows and conducted orchestras at several Presidential Inaugurations. He’s known Goldie Hawn all her life and even gave her her name. Who is this man?

    Was it his brother or brother in law that molested Goldie at a young age (but mature in knowing from the start it wasn’t her fault and refused to internalize blame)?
