At least when they ask you for a donation at the Sheldon, they give you something a little bit unique.

Rather than just hit up patrons for money, the Sheldon has produced a very cool CD, full of songs about the Mighty Mississippi and Missouri rivers.  (Thus, the name:  Acoustic River)

This is what the release says about the collection:

"The CD features the donated talents of top national and local artists including Mike Marshall and Chris Thile, John
McEuen, Kathy Chiavola, Lydia Ruffin, Dave Toretta and Connie Fairchild, Darrell Scott, Mark Holland, Pete Huttlinger,
Peter Mayer, John Higgins, Tom Hall, and Dale Benz, and pays tribute to the majesty, beauty, magic, and as we have unfortunately
seen here in the St. Louis area, sometimes destructive power of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers."

A $100 donation is the price for this unique collection.  More details are available at 314-533-9900.
