artist Wendy McNeill

in the beginning... Mcneill's first musical memories were of her parents folk and old country records being drowned out by her older teenage siblings recordings of Pink Floyd, Supertramp, and Black Sabbath. The first cassette that she fell in love with(around age 5) was a Dolly Parton and Porter Wagner duets album borrowed from her mothers collection. She often lulled herself to sleep with it's sad songs. One of her favorites being 'Jeanies Afraid of the Dark'. A morbid little tale of a girl who dies young. Her favorite morning music was another of her mothers tapes-ABBA. To this she enjoyed dancing around in her Wonder Woman costume and playing air guitar while dreaming that she was either a powerful super hero or a pop star. Over the years McNeill has recorded 5 albums, contributed her music to indie films, dance and theatre productions, been showcased on numerous compilation cd's, and toured in North America, Europe, Brazil and Japan.  She no longer dreams of being a super hero or a pop star. She still likes Dolly Parton songs and hopes to dance around in a Wonder Woman costume again someday.
