Sheldon replied to norm tandberg's discussion '5 live albums that changed my life'

Los Lobos ~ "Angels With Dirty Faces"
"For my money, I think Los Lobos are the best rock / americana band this country has produced. Yes I know Bruce has sold alot more records, and the Grateful Dead have played for more people. The affect Bob Dylan has had on everyone is…"
Sheldon commented on Alan Harrison's blog post 'CD Review - Richard Thompson "Electric"'
"I agree with you - I love Richard but Fairport was not my cup of tea. His stuff with Linda was awesome. I saw him some years ago at Park West and he rocked. The comment comparing him to Neil Young is unfair. I love Neil but Richard Thompson…"

Sheldon commented on Charlie Bermant's blog post 'Neil Young's Psychedelic Anthems'

"I just saw Ray Wylie Hubbard in LaSalle IL in a sold out room of no more than 100 people. About 5 years ago I saw him with Hays Carl and Slaid Cleves in a room of about 40 fans in Milwaukee. What a gift it is to sit 5 feet away from…"
