Trash Into Treasure
by Fred Beshid
Intro | The Gift | Songbird | Recordings
Shari applies her same scrappy, do-it-yourself attitude to creating music. Her debut CD "I'm Forcing Goodness Upon You" is the result of many years of writing poems and teaching herself to play on her $15 thrift store guitar. She turned her poems into songs and started to play “open mike” shows at local clubs. As her popularity grew her fans started asking for recordings of her songs so they could enjoy her music at home.

As luck would have it she found just what she needed at a rummage sale: “I got my own 4 track recorder at a rummage sale on Whidbey Island on a trip I was taking around the country in my car in 1994. I was visiting my Grandma Selma in the State of Washington. I bought the 4 track for $2. The lady selling it wasn't sure what it was!” After she bought the recorder, she taught herself how to record songs that she described as “slow” process.
