Family

In 1938 Dryden married Alice Chapple (1911–2005), a prima ballerina of the Radio City Music
Hall dancers.[14] They had a son Spencer Dryden before they divorced in 1943. Dryden took his
son to Los Angeles jazz clubs during the 1950s, which inspired his musical ambitions as a jazz
and rock drummer.[15] Spencer became a musician and played with Jefferson Airplane, New
Riders of the Purple Sage, and other bands; he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
in 1996.[16]
