The Shams
The Shams were an all-female New York folk pop trio in the 1980s and early 1990s, featuring Amy McMahon Rigby, Sue Garner, and Amanda Uprichard. Some critics have credited the band with pioneering elements of what would later become known as the Americana and No Depression movements in American music. Others have described them as "queens of urban folkdom" or " riot grrrls unplugged." Punk rock musician Richard Hell has labeled their music "beauty parlor soul." Rigby, Garner, and Uprichard began performing together in the early 1980s in a band called the Last Roundup, a period in which they also sang Christmas carols together at parties and outside friends' homes. They all held day jobs when they formed The Shams, but they soon found themselves performing with musicians such as the Indigo Girls, Soul Asylum and Buffalo Tom.

Bedding is the removable and washable portion of a human sleeping environment.

Most standardized measurements for bedding are rectangular, but there are also some square-shaped sizes, which allows the user to put on bedding without having to consider its lengthwise orientation (e.g. a duvet). In American English, the word ''bedding'' generally does not include the mattress, while in British English it often does. In Australian English, Australian and New Zealand English, bedding is often called ''manchester'', especially in shops.
