Sheldon began playing the piano and harmonica at the age of 12. At 16 he began to play the guitar and played in high school and college bands. While in Israel at the age of 21, he joined a rock band from Jerusalem called The Electric Stage as a bass player. That band is now considered the first Israeli progressive rock band and the album they recorded with Danny Ben Israel (Chantarish 3 1/4) is now considered the best psychedelic album ever to have come out of that country. * *see http://www.headheritage.co.uk/unsung/thebookofseth/848

At age 24 Sheldon studied music formally at Merritt College in Oakland CA and, at age 26, moved to Los Angeles, playing in a myriad of musical situations, working with such artists Dodge Bolton, Jenny Jones, Jean Paul Vignon, Pam Feener, Bill Cosby, David Arkenstone, Johnny Tillotson, Jesse Ed Davis, Jon Detherage, Jay (Jay Burrrid) Mitthauer, Sheila Brown and Prentice Moreland of the Ink Spots. He also established "Fortune", "Heartlight", and "The Boogie Brothers". |

As music technology progressed, Sheldon was able to go from six piece show band to four and five piece bands to duo and, finally, in 1990, to solo act, giving the term "One Man Band" new meaning. While most solo artists require pre-recorded tracks to produce a full band sound, Sheldon, by virtue of being able to play guitar, bass, keyboards, blues harp and drums is able to create the music of a full band playing all the instruments in real time. With a song list of over 400 songs Sheldon is able to cover virtually any type of musical situation. Formerly a member of The Boogie Brothers, when Sheldon went solo he became "The Boogie Man". |
