Comment:
Peter Himmelman is a singer-songwriter from Minnesota. Dro`pping out of high school early, Himmelman used the pseudonym Sussman Lawrence and got hired as a cast member of Twin Cities, teen-geared TV show Steamroller. His early band name, Shangoya, was replaced by the Sussman Lawrence name. After the band's appearance on the TV show, Peter's Dad called the studio where the band had been cutting some demos and preten`ded to be a "very enthusiastic" Chicago record ex`ecutive. "The next day," Himmelman relates, "the studio owner called saying that he was "suddenly eager" to press a single." After mentioning the Chicago label's "interest," Himmelman himself was able to persuade the studio owner to pony up for an entire album.Himmelman is well known for his raucous, unpredictab`le stage shows. The shows are mostly improvised, and he will ad-lib various comments and jokes in between songs. He has concentrated on work for TV shows the past several years and won an Emmy for his music.

Feedback:
Wish I could answer, because I've always liked Himmelman. Nice collection!
What's really interesting is that, while I personally don't really know anything by Peter Himmelman (and I'm actually from Minnesota myself, fancy that - but then again I was never really into the Replacements either), my Mom was really into that song Woman With The Strength Of 10,000 Men. She passed away from cancer back in '05, unfortunately, but I do remember her saying that she definitely took inspiration from that song in terms of her personal trials...
Another of the infinite number of artists that I've really liked what little I've heard from them (in this case "Impermanent Things"), but for one reason or another, I never dug into the catalog. But, if I remember correctly, Mr. Himmelman wrote the theme and music for Judging Amy, which my wife sorely misses.
Mesh answer meshes with the quiz and he's a winner.
