Wenzel Wax Works
We
love burning candles and these are truly the best around. They burn
cleanly and for a LONG time. Great scents and each is made by hand. At
this point you can only get them at shows but their web site has a good
list of where they are going to be. Well worth a Sunday drive.

Musician: Gavin Coyle, Irish male vocalist
I
heard Gavin sing at a funeral recently and knew instantly that he was
something special. A native of Northern Ireland and a gifted singer, if
I've ever heard one. Looking for a real Irish voice? Check out his web
site. You'll be as amazed as I was.

Musician: Linda Gervain, female vocalist
Occassionaly
I hear a voice at a gig that makes me sit up and take notice. Linda's
was so bewtiching that I actually "crashed" a funeral mass to stand in
the back of the sanctuary just to hear her sing. I was instantly lost
in her rendition of Ave Maria and stayed as long as I dared
just to hear the rest of what she offered. She doesn't have an
answering machine but keep trying to get hold of her. She's definitely
worth the extra effort.

are forced or bribed, is her specialty... and she is very very good at
it. Well worth a long drive. She offers doggy boarding school as well
as weekly classes. Before you decide a dog is untrainable, please call Mary! Located in the Northwest suburbs of Chicago.

Musician: Anthony "Tony" Camacho, male vocalist
I
originally thought Tony was either a tenor or baritone -- I couldn't
really tell since the range of his voice and his control over it is
incredible. He then told me he sings comfortably all the way from tenor
to bass! On top of that, he can sing well classically and
contemporarily. Frankly, he has the most flexible male voice I've come
across. A superb musician for both happy and sad occasions.

Musician: Sean Cleland, Traditional Irish Music instruction and performance
I've
never met or heard Sean but I've met and heard some of his Irish fiddle
students. No one can pass on knowledge and technique like this without
being a fantastic musician. I look forward to meeting the man himself.
