In addition to performing and recording, Barry runs a recording studio, and enjoys woodworking along with his semi-evil twin from the alternate universe, Woody Phillips. Shelley is the founder and director of the Community Music School of Santa Cruz, where she runs Celtic Camps for children and teens, concerts, workshops, and other programs, including a recording label with albums of Christmas, Shaker and Shape Note music to benefit the school (communitymusicschool.org/cds) She also works as a music director within the Episcopal church, makes bamboo flutes with the English Piper's Guild and directs the Santa Cruz Shape Note Society.
Barry and Shelley live on the foggy California coast with two very spoiled cats.

Hi to all my MySpace friends around the world! I don't usually use Myspace to promote my own beliefs, but I was recently asked to sign a very important online petition asking international bodies like the WTO and IMF to work to rid the world of child labour. There are so many children suffering in this world so that we can enjoy cheap luxuries and an easy life. There is not much we can do as individuals, but this we CAN do. It's easy...one click and you're there, one more click and you've made a difference! I spent the first half of my life in Hong Kong (I'm 13 now) and I've seen little kids in Southern China exploited and vulnerable. I always remember that but for an accident of birth, I could have been one of those children. I'm not asking you to run a marathon or anything...just move your mouse here: http://www.icftu.org/petition.asp?Name=childlabour - and do the right thing. Thank you and have a great summer! Aysha.
