The Sons Of Maxwell

The boys wow the home town crowd .
Don croons a tune .
Dave Carroll sings Christmas carols .
Don and fellow smilers .
Martha and I with Judy , a rock star wife and my audiologist , whose husband not only played keyboard for the Sons of Maxwell but in his own band Compass Rose who opened for the boys .
They are the sons of Maxwell Carroll to be exact and they are two brothers from Timmins whose unique style of Celtic entertainment have captured the music world . Don is more mellow and a bit of a crooner with a smile that makes you feel like you have known him all your life . Dave is a songwriter and singer whose lyrics touch your heart immediately . Together they have won many prestigious awards in the Martimes and beyond . Every year the boys return home to perform their annual Christmas concert at their old high school . I love to attend , not only being a sponsor , but for the fact that the joyful singing never fails to put me in a holiday mood . Their mother Sharon , like any other proud Mom , organizes their concert here and is their biggest fan . She is a warm and wonderful woman and you can see where Don & Dave get their close family ties . Thank you Don & Dave for always coming home for the holidays and remembering your northern roots .
Now I have to "go tell it on the mountain , over the hills and everywhere .. "

Compass Rose: THAT's a band!
Sons of Maxwell: Not so much.

I'm just sayin'. To each his own, right?

These guys all grew up together and it is a remarkable testament to the power of friendship and talent . Compass Rose had their first CD out and Dave Carroll was one of the songwriters . Small town ..big heart .

As Stage Manager 7 out of the 9 years with the S.O.M. it gives me and my wife Debbie (sponsor hostess) great pleasure to be involved with such a great group of people.

The Carroll's are a great family and have never forgot about their Timmins roots and they return every year to "give back to the community".

Their Christmas concert is a great way to kick start the holiday season.

Merry Christmas to you all and look forward to #10 in 2008.

Best Regards
Rick and Deb
