notes

Hey, no one else was planning one anytime soon, so I said to myself, "S. Elf", I'll plan my own tribute album and invite folks to send me a song." I started inviting people in December of 2003. Happily, a year later the whole project had come together with 45 great songs (OK, I contributed 5 of my own songs here--it's my album!)

It took me 15 years to complete my debut CD "I'm Forcing Goodness Upon You," so I thought I should get busy on this project right away. I was delighted if not somewhat stunned that the plan worked, songs started pouring in!

The Shari Elf Tribute Album is my favorite album of all time and I think you'll enjoy it, too, if only to steal the idea and arrange your own Tribute Album.

And a special big thank you for all my new best friends who made songs for this album. I love you guys! Something good happened to me this year!

Thanks also to Doug Newman of The Cat Album and Red Beans and Rice, from whom I stole the idea of the tribute album. Doug wanted to get famous musicians to record all the songs on his "Cat Album." He imagined Neil Young singing "Kitty Come Back," etc.

Thanks a whole bunch to Milo Ippolito in Atlanta, Georgia who got a lot of his friends on board: Shellboy, Churchill's Tractor, Aurora Cicero (Milo's Sister), and Glupi Ludi with Robyn Bors and Milo's band. Thanks, Miloj, this album wouldn't be the same with out these great contributions!

    Shari,I think you are a genius.The packaging was also genius(It made me laugh)

  • The Shari Elf Tribute CD has quite a variety
    author: ART PAUL SCHLOSSER

    Wow what a variety of styles of music ! Maybe you think my review doesn't count because I'm on the CD but I like alot of the tracks I'm not on better than the ones I'm on.My favorite track is 14 Bunny by The Terrace Park Choir and Percussion Emsemble.Some people say everyone is out for themselves but Shari has proved americans can work together for something other than war.I hope if you are down or depressed you check out the songs and see if I'm right and if you like what you hear please tell others.

  • Mad about it!
