What can we say about Jakub “Kuba” Sienkiewicz? Well, he staunchly refuses to be put in any sort of box, that’s for sure. Put him in the eccentric pop/rock musician box? You’ll learn he’s also a practicing MD. And a guy who looks and sounds so friendly could never come up with strange, ironic, weird lyrics like these, right?
So, yeah, he might be just a little bit Crazy Sane. And slightly cool. Has covered a lot of Jacek Kleyff (communist-era poet and comedian) songs, most famously Telewizja, and cooperates with his fellow doctor/musician, the legendary skiffler Zacier.
No relation. (That we know of.) He is however a nephew of a famous Polish actress Krystyna Sienkiewicz, known from comedic routines and movies.
Alexander Fischer is born in Lindlar / Nordrhein Westfalen in 1967. Since 2008 he is married with Heike Fischer and they got a daughter in 2011.
After teeth his second big passion is the guitar and rock music. He is one of five members of the rock band Zenobia which was founded in 1993 and has published two CDs.
He writes to Wolfgang: “Apart from dental medicine my heart belongs to music! I play the guitar for decades now and compose since I am 10 and have a wonderful band playing old fashioned music in the style of Genesis, Yes, King Crimson and Pink Floyd – without a lot of success! 🙂 see www.zenobia-music.de (founded 1993, 2 CDs).
I collect guitars (last estimates: 22) and an old sports car from Stuttgart…. Let´s make friends here and have a coffee together!”

Alfredo De Pietra was born in 1955 in Potenza, Italy. He now lives in Palermo, Sicily.
He began listening to Irish music in the mid-1970s. His first musical passions were The Chieftains and the Bothy Band.
Over the years, he expanded his knowledge of Celtic music, primarily listening to Celtic guitar music. In 2000, he launched a website dedicated to Celtic music https://digilander.libero.it/alfstone/keltika.htm, which is very popular among Italian Celtic music fans.
Since 2001, he has been one of the main authors of the monthly (published?) Italian CD magazine “Keltika,” for which he has written dozens of reviews, articles, and interviews with leading Celtic musicians from around the world. Alfredo De Pietra is also a doctor specializing in anesthesiology and intensive care medicine and works as a general practitioner in Palermo, Sicily.
