Site Organization

This section will help new visitors get oriented with the site. I have tried to organize it in such a way that it is easy to find things, so if you find something confusing, please take the time to send e-mail to wrp103@psu.edu with questions and/or suggestions about the site.

The menu items on the left side of the page should appear everywhere on the site. They define the major divisions of the site. The menu items on the right side of the page refer to sections within the current page. The Top option will take you to the top of the page. The remaining items will allow you to jump to a section within the page. The actual menu items on the right will vary from page to page.

When you click on a menu item from the left side of the page, that selection will change color and not have a link associated with it. For example, if you look at the Home menu item when you are on this (the home) page, it will look different than the other menu items. (What it looks like depends on what style you have selected to view the pages.) If that page contains deeper links to other pages (like the Songs and Albums pages), then it will become a link again when you delve deeper into that section of the site.

Here is a brief overview of the site:

Home: This menu option will take you back to this page.
Bio: Some information about Cheryl. If you have just discovered Cheryl, this section will tell you about her background, etc.; If you are a concert promoter, this section can provide you material you can use for concert posters, program notes, etc. You are free to use anything on this site for any event pertaining to Cheryl. My only requirement is that you credit this site when you do. This can be done by stating that the material came from the site, or simply by adding a link to the site, suggesting those who want more information should come here.
Albums: This section deals with all the known albums pertaining to Cheryl. This includes albums by Cheryl herself, as well as collections with Cheryl's materials, albums where Cheryl sings backup, and albums that contain covers of Cheryl's songs.; For each album, you can find a page containing a list of the songs on the album, some credits about the album itself, as well as some comments about the album (or at least Cheryl's song(s) on the album.); If you are looking for an album containing a given song, then you should start with the Songs section, which will contain a list of the albums with that song.
Songs: This section deals with Cheryl's songs. There are two ways you can find a song: (a) there is an alphabetical list of songs, and (b) there is a page that classifies songs according to categories. If you know what song you are looking for, then you want to use the alphabetical listing. If, however, you heard a song but don't know the name, the list by song types might be a better bet.; For each song, you will find a page containing information about the song, possibly the lyrics, maybe sound clips, and a list of what albums (if any) that the song appears on (including covers by other artists.); If you heard a song at a concert and want to know the name, then you probably want to try the Set Lists page first.
Schedule: This page will tell you where you can find out if Cheryl will be performing in your area. If you join Cheryl's e-mail list, each week a message is sent out telling the list members where Cheryl will be performing that week. Of course, that might be too late for some of you, since her concerts often sell out.
Set Lists: This page lists the song that Cheryl has been performing at recent concerts. Cheryl doesn't have a fixed set list, so this can change constantly (which makes it hard to keep the page up to date.) Cheryl will often take requests, and has been know to perform a song she hasn't done for a long time, so there is always the chance that the song you heard isn't on this list.; If you can't find the song you heard on this page, you should try the Songs section, and try to look it up by song types. If that doesn't work, send e-mail to wrp103@psu.edu and describe what you remember about the song. I will try to help you out.
Contact Us: This section provides you with different ways to get in contact with various people pertaining to Cheryl. It also provides information on other sources of information about Cheryl, such as her e-mail list.; If you aren't sure who you should contact, then you can always send e-mail to wrp103@psu.edu, explain what you are trying to do, and I will try to help you.; Cheryl doesn't have a public e-mail address where you can send messages. If you send something to me, then I can often forward it to Cheryl. You can also send something to her through her manager.
Audience Tapes: This section lists the known recordings of Cheryl's concerts. In fact, many of these recordings have been transferred to CDs. If you have a recording that isn't on that list, then I am interested in arranging a swap with you.; The quality of these recordings vary greatly. Some are soundboard recordings, and others are recorded from the radio. Most of them were recorded by a member of the audience, which means the quality can range from O.K. to fairly poor, often within the same tape. (Depending on the noises from nearby people.)
More ...: This is a "catch-all" page that contains a lot of information that doesn't fit into any of the other categories. If you can't find what you are looking for, try here.

About This Site

This is the definitive place to find out information about Cheryl Wheeler. Cheryl, her manager, booking agent, and recording label all refer to this as the official site, and provide me with much of the information within this site.

Nevertheless, I am solely responsible for the editorial content of these pages. I am not officially connected with Cheryl, although I work closely with her, her manager, her booking agent, venues, etc.

Privacy Statement

The only way I will know if you visited this site is if you send e-mail to wrp103@psu.edu. I don't get any money for maintaining this site, so there is no incentive to get more people to visit. I run this site because I love Cheryl and her work. I work two jobs and am active with my church, so I have no time and/or interest in compiling lists of visitors. Once again, if you don't tell me you were here, I won't know. And I don't think anyone else would know, either.

If you do e-mail me, I usually keep e-mails forever. This can be a good thing, however. For example, several years ago somebody from Cedar Rapids, IA sent me an e-mail asking why Cheryl never performed near her. I used to live in Iowa City, IA, and worked in Cedar Rapids, so we exchanged a few e-mails. A couple of years later, I noticed that Cheryl was performing in Iowa, so I searched my e-mail, found who it was, and let them know about the concert.

I don't monitor who visits this site. The company that hosts this site, CHCS Consulting, does collect some statistics about visitors, but I hardly ever check them (mostly to see how many visitors the site gets whenever somebody asks). As far as I know, CHCS doesn't doesn't monitor that data, but creates them strictly for the people who run their sites.
