The Shell Shuckers

About Me

MyGen Profile GeneratorAll of these tunes were written between 1992 & 1994.

Hope you enjoy!
The Shell Shuckers is basically a demo band featuring songs by Andrew Meyerhoff with some help from a few collaborators.
For now, I'm focusing on the day job.
But the songwriting days were sure fun...and crazy!!!
Cheers
Andrew the Shell Shucker
"Gypsy" has been added to the Shell Shuckers' site. If anyone wants to record this song, drop me a line, or send an email to [email protected]

Here is a letter from Ben E. King regarding "Gypsy":
Dear Andrew,
I just finished taking a listen to Gypsy, and it is a very good song. I'm getting material for my next release on Ichiban Records out of Atlanta, Georgia. If you like you can leave a copy of Gypsy in my box. I'll take it back to the states and play it for the producers. Also, make sure your phone number is on the tape box, in case they need to reach you.
Now and then we do a good feeling song like this one. I wish you luck.
Yours Truly,
Ben E.

Here is a similar letter from Peabo Bryson:
Dear Andrew,
Your song is very good, nice and smooth. I think it would be a great song for Ben King or Michael Bolton, if you can get him a copy. We just finished our album that should be released the first of June.
I wish you all the luck and do not give up. One day things will come together and it will all be worth it.
Peabo
