"Shareen -- She sings for their Supper" Ventura County News, July 1986
"Singing, for Shareen, si the creative voice for her thoughts and philosophy. She sings for deep meaning and for worthly causes. Currently, the Ojai resident performing for FOCUS, an agency to help the homeless get back on track in life....Caring about such causes started early in life, but the turning point occurred in 1982. She was performing in Japan at that time, and made a visit to Hiroshima Peace Museum, after watching TV coverage of an annual world peace conference, occuring at that time. Shareen was moved to write a song "Hiroshima, Can I Cry For You?" She was invited back for the 1984 World Peace Conference, and wrote the them song for that year "Never Again," which she performed in the Hiroshima Peace Park before an audience of over 30,000 people. Shareen has always been concerned about peace in world and human welfare. Her grandmother died of leukemia in 1975, from exposure to fallout from nuclear bomb test in southern Utah. Her father died in 1985, from cancer related to exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam. "I have stronge feelings about the suffering that is encountered throught war and use of chemicals.
