THE NEW YORK PUBLIC LIBRARY is an amazing source of information and resources (and books, of course; let's not forget books).

MIDNIGHT ROADS is the name of a pure-unadulterated-country-western-song Shellen wrote with Gini Graham Scott (Gini wrote the lyric, Shellen the music). It's on Gini's website, Songworks. Check it out.

	PEEKAMOOSE GUITARS is the company name of Paul Schwartz and Hawley Waldman, luthiers extraordinaire who truly love what they do. They work on everything from 1920s arch tops to headless Steinbergers, from 1950s classics to contemporary instruments, with skill and insight. If you have an instrument in need of tender loving care, these two will deliver far more than you'd dreamed was possible. My thirty year old Martin D-28 had been played to death and was literally pulling itself apart. They promised that after the resurrection I would be amazed at how lively and touch-sensitive the instrument would become, and they were so right. It now sounds and plays more easily and beautifully than when it was new! They also assemble custom string sets for instruments with unique demands--like my Martin Backpacker, which is supposed to use extra light strings; the guitar didn't feel (or sound) quite right until Peekamoose made some changes to how it sets up and a few creative choices about string gauges. They treat all instruments and jobs with equal respect--in fact, Paul & Hawley will even take the time to teach you about caring for your instrument to keep it in shape and avoid costly repairs. I recommend them most highly. Get more information on the NEW YORK COALITION OF PROFESSIONAL WOMEN IN THE ARTS AND MEDIA, an organization for women in most arts professional unions and guilds in New York City. Shellen has been involved with the organization since its inception, and served as Co-President (with her friend and colleague, Elsa Rael). Please check out the website of great friends and oft-times collaborators, CYNTHIA ENFIELD and ROBERT JOHN COOK, as well as MARK LAMBERT, who has a brilliant new album, reinventing standards in surprising and haunting ways. Check out the amazing and generous people on COUCHSURFING, changing the world one couch at a time from one of fear and hostility to one of openness and generosity. Read the writings of good friend Sherry L. Huckabee at LYCEUM GARDENS, beautiful reflective thoughtful pieces about her journeys and adventures. SINGER/SONGWRITER DIRECTORY maintains a directory of Singer/Songwriters as well as resources for the same. A lot of great stuff there--check them out. And please feel free to post any comments about my site and/or my songs under my listing . . . thank you. PENELOPE THOMAS Music video by Zack S. West (demon spawn) which Shellen executive produced for Cake's cover of Black Sabbath's WAR PIGS. Our web host is ASP HOSTING.
