I was listening to a upbeat Gospel Music CD, which I forgot the name of the group. Please let me know the group if anyone out there recognizes this-thanks! Peace and God bless y'all!!

Herman is also more widely known for its high number of eligible bachelors. The story drew world-wide recognition and later was made into a fictional movie "Herman USA"."

The film focuses on what happened in Herman, not all the media hype it generated from the likes of Oprah Winfrey to the London Times.

Reviews:
"'Herman USA'' is a sentimental, feel-good movie. It makes no apologies for that -- nor does it need to.
Written and directed by Cricket Theater founder Bill Semans, it is breezy and fluffy, and proudly sports its soap-operatic emotions on its sleeve. Although hardly innovative in character, story or presentation, it is entirely enjoyable.

"HOFFMAN, Minn- (KSAX) When a small town loses a business it can have a big impact.
And when Muriel Krusemark returned to her hometown of Hoffman, MN six years ago, she says it just wasn't the same.
Compared to years past, the downtown area was empty and Main Street was pretty quiet. After numerous renovations and tons of hardwork, Hoffman is now up and running again.
So far, 8 new businesses and a incresed population census is the result, but Krusemark has more in store for the small town.
Along with the eight new businesses, Krusemark takes pride in Hoffman's Farmer’s Market saying it's a great opportunity for the local farmers and residents who want to eat healthier.
