Once upon a time, there was a guy named Schwump. He made music. The Residents dug what he did, and released a single of his music so that others might also dig. Then he disappeared for 23 years.

He plays a kind of tiny harp, various percussion instruments, kazoo, harmonica, cheap small organs and theremins, designs alone his albums’ covers and burns his CD’s by himself, and fills all in all sorts of smilies, preaching to positivity.

But now, here is the music and mirth of a one-of -a -kind artist, Barry Schwam, a.k.a "Schwump." Dig.
