Cheryl Wheeler (born July 10, 1951) is an Americansinger-songwriter of contemporary folk music, based in New England. To date, she has recorded thirteen folk albums, and has toured extensively throughout the United States.
Wheeler was born in Timonium, Maryland, where she attended Dulaney High School. She performed at clubs in the Washington, D.C. and Baltimore area. She moved to Rhode Island in 1976, where she played at various clubs in the New England area. Jonathan Edwards asked her to tour with him when his bass player became unavailable. He has since produced a number of her albums. Wheeler and her partner, Cathleen, were married in 2004.
Performances
Wheeler tours extensively, and her live concerts include comic routines and serious discussions in addition to the songs themselves. About half of the songs she performs in concerts are not available on any of her albums. Many never get recorded, and eventually fade from her set list. Although she mostly tours alone, she has also toured with Kenny White (who produced a number of her albums). White generally opens for her, and then plays and sings harmony during Wheeler's set. Wheeler has also toured with the Christine Lavin-inspired tour "On a Winter's Night", and occasionally as part of Lavin's consortium Four Bitchin' Babes.
Cheryl Wheeler-Dixon (born 1960) is a stunt woman, stunt double, and stunt driver in the US movie industry. She has also been credited as Cheryl Wheeler-Duncan, Cheryl Wheeler, Cheryl M. Wheeler, and Sheryl Wheeler. She has been stunt double for Rene Russo, Kathleen Turner, and Goldie Hawn. She has two daughters, and with her husband, Lindsey Duncan, owns Genesis Today, Inc., a nutritional supplement company in Austin, Texas and a multi-level marketing offshoot called Genesis Pure.
Early years
Cheryl Wheeler began studying Yoshukai Karate at fifteen years-old in Pensacola, Florida, with instructor Gerry Blanck. She began kickboxing when her instructor began training an amateur team, but her championship matches were considered professional, as she was paid for the work. Wheeler-Dixon also studied Judo, Aikido, and grappling and trained for a while with kickboxer and actor Don Wilson. She is a three-time WKA World Kickboxing Champion with a record of 17-1-1 and a 2nd degree black belt in Yoshukai Karate.
Singer-songwriter Cheryl Wheeler has been recording these songs from her kitchen during the pandemic. I run a mailing list for her fans, and she's asked me to post them here!

Cheryl Wheeler - Gandhi / Buddha
Cheryl Wheeler & Kenny White perform Gandhi / Buddha at Front Porch House Concerts.
Feel this wind blow, scatters all these leaves like paper rain.
Feel these days roll, back into our winter lives again.
The tangle at the garden fence is brown and dry.
You call me out and point to your November sky.
chorus:
I must've been Gandhi or Buddha or someone like that,
I must've saved lives by the hundreds everywhere I went.
I must've brought rest to the restless, fed the hungry too,
I must've done something great to get to have you.
And when the cold comes and you are by your fire and fast asleep,
I'll turn a light on, to watch the snow outside fall soft and deep.
And when the winter morning shines all white and blue,
We'll watch the dogs run through the fields like children do.

I suppose stranger things have come to pass,
Many's the forest I can't see.
I was so down and lost and fading fast.
How did you find your way to me?

Alternate or "Answer" version:
Man this wind blows, scatters all these leaves I've raked all day
And your snot nosed little cat keeps getting in the way
I've got to take that f-ing garden fence back down
Just so your local yokel friend can plow the ground
I must've been Hitler or Satan or someone like that
I must've caused death and destruction everywhere I went
I must've brought torts to the tortured, beat some nuns up too
I must've done something bad to have to have you
And when the cold comes and you have turned the heat to 95
I'll put some shorts on, and wonder how the cats and dogs survive
And when the winter morning shines all white and blue
I'll tell you how it was when you get up at two
I must've been Hitler or Satan or someone like that
I must've caused death and destruction everywhere I went
I must've brought torts to the tortured, drowned some puppies too
I must've done something bad to have to have you

This is a lonely life As I know you know too well I'm thinking of you tonight Here in the Sylvia Hotel. Smoking a cigarette Drinking a glass of beer Catching a conversation I am trying not to hear. One more Why not, okay Guess I'm glad I came To stare at English Bay Under all the rain. There's a cat in this bar right now Twitching his tail away I called with a soft meow Maybe he only speaks Francais. You must be safe in bed Down in your cowboy home I don't wonder why you left I wonder why you stayed so long. One more Why not, okay I'm glad I came And here's to English Bay In the lovely rain. I found some matches from Durango in my pocket But if I let my heart get sad then I can't stop it. And this is a lonely life Though I think it suits me well And everything's fine tonight
