NYPOST.COM Entertainment: CROWD WOWED BY ECLECTIC SHOCKED By DAN AQUILANTE


THERE was a key moment at the Michelle Shocked Village Underground concert Wednesday.
She had just completed playing "Strawberry Jam" where she pulled amateur musicians from the crowd to play mandolins, spare guitars and anything that could make music.
In her best I-got-something-to-say voice, the diminutive Texan told the audience "music is like politics, it's too important to be left in the hands of professionals."
That's the way Shocked entered music - as an amateur who loved to play - and despite how good she's gotten strumming 'n' humming in a variety of styles, at heart she's a campfire singer who believes everybody is in the jam, not the players on stage.
