Newport Songs

© 1983 Cheryl Wheeler
This EP was Cheryl's first recording. I find it amazing that it is so good. The version of Summerfly on this album is just as good as the version on "Half a Book", recorded 8 years later.
A man named
Franz Kneissl owned a company called "Newport Is Sports".
He asked Cheryl to write a song for his store.
He then financed this EP so that his song could be recorded.
It is out of print, and isn't (wasn't) available on CD.
This EP had the distinction of being an inch larger than any of
the other albums.
