Best of Nancy Wallace with Eddie Benietz

No Illusion: There’s drama, sensuous guitar playing and mystique in an Eddie Benitez concert, but there’s no magic act, no illusions. The special effect geniuses at George Lucas’ Dreamworks Studios couldn’t conjure this if we asked. Angel sightings at Eddie Benitez concerts are the real thing. What makes me say that? Experience. I’m MaryEllen O’Brien, and I am Eddie’s writer for his upcoming autobiography, Angels on My Stage. I’ve been interviewing Eddie for several months, gathering together his extraordinary life story—replete with angels, spirits and miraculous healings—as well as astonishing musical talent that put Eddie on stage at Madison Square Garden at the tender age of 14 and had him earning gold records at 15. Along the way, I’ve encountered angels with Eddie myself, and one very significant angel in particular. I’ve had conversations with angels and proofs demonstrated. I began with a journalist’s and biographer’s eye toward getting at the truth, and I became convinced of the truth of Eddie’s stories and the sightings of angels on his stage by my own encounters with Eddie’s angelic beings. Much more will be revealed in the book. But let’s get back to the stage, because Eddie’s tour in support of his new CD, Lovers Never Say Goodbye, is about to begin.
