I'd never heard of her and took a chance listen to her contribution, "Everybody's Cryin Mercy." I was blown away by her bluesy voice! The lyrics that I can remember went something like this: "It's bad, bad situation... That's sho' nuff getting worse.... Everybody's crying mercy... When they don't know the meaning of the word....." Does anyone remember this song? I loved it! Sherelle ------------------------------ Date: Thu, 11 Apr 2002 23:57:23 EDT From: RobSher50@aol.com Subject: Re: another member of the Sherelle fan club Dear Mags, I'd just like to thank you publicly for helping me contact-wise, and for saying such wonderful things about the demo. I really am speechless. I'm working really hard to strengthen my voice and get better with each day. There was a time when I was constantly told what a no good nothing I was and that I would never amount to anything. This is why these words from you mean so much to me. I treasure them as I am still trying to climb out of that pit of such negative reinforcement. I met an awesome female blues rocker from Pittsburgh by the name of Tara Charles via the Just Plain Folks website, and it is so incredible because our stories are so similar. She plays a mean lead guitar which reminds me of Carlos Santanna if this would not be considered sacrilege to mention someone else's name with his. Even though I am very happy to be getting such wonderful responses, I am absolutely "thrilled" to be in a support situation with other musicians on this list and elsewhere. I dream of the day when I can just be around other musicians and collaborate. Mags, you are a very wonderful and special person to me and I want this whole list to know it! There are also so many others like you with hearts of gold here! Thank you.

We are joined at the hip forevermore mister! Just send me your snail mail address off list and I will make sure you get one forthwith! I can only mail on Saturdays because of my schedule, so Nikki, I haven't forgotten you. Yours will go out Saturday. For my Jonilistas, there is absolutely no charge. I've always said that if I could get away with doing this for free, I would. Well since my CD is not complete yet, I guess this is my chance! Seriously Jim, you have held a special place in my heart for so many years. I thank you for those words and think the world of you for supporting me way back when!
