Hey Schuman, Glad to hear your new songs up and that you're still going strong in this world. Sands of California and Trouble In Mind are great. Still to this day every time my friends go through my cd case they ask who is Schuman the Human and I am proud to say who it is, and that for at least in the circle of friends I have you're my little awesome secret. i hope one day you get all the fame and fortune that I believe your songs deserve. cheers to your hard work and great songs.
