One of three “George-O-Lettes”, providing harmonies on original songs by singer, songwriter and pianist George Rossi (“Little Georgie and The Shuffling Hungarians”), Sheela, under the direction of Little Georgie, laid down  vocals as “tutorial tracks” to assist others in learning their parts. A ‘lesson’ Sheela does not take for granted, because it was her first time doing so many parts of songs “unfamiliar”.  “What I've learned in this all original project, helps me tremendously in others. ”Little Georgie" is a genius and an intense mega talent that locally cannot be matched. I will forever be grateful for his guidance and believing that my voice was good enough to be a part of his masterpiece.  He chose me. I will never forget that."  https://queenbeemedia.com/little-georgie/gallery/the-womb-room-of-hungaria/
