Question
This is Michael Carey Schneider from the group Sneaker wanting to know if we had much airplay in the Philippines with any of our songs, including "More Than Just The Two Of Us".

Thank you.

Answer
Dear Michael,

Honestly, I can't believe it!! Or if I should somehow believe! MICHAEL CAREY SCHNEIDER from SNEAKER writing in. Man, it's an honor being asked by a celebrity.

SNEAKER, as in many countries, achieved popularity here with MORE THAN JUST THE TWO OF US in early 1982. I remember how big it was hearing it probably every hour on the radio. I used to have a Handshake Records 45 single copy of it. Up to now, it's still receiving some airplay from FM radio stations (you see, most radio stations here have mellow or love songs format where they play old and new tunes and Filipinos are usually very sentimental). But there's still a handful (like me) who loves some of your songs like DON'T LET ME IN. It's a pity two of your albums, SNEAKER and LOOSE IN THE WORLD are rare here.

Thank you very much for writing in!! Hope to hear from you again...my e-mail is bong_santos_jbl11@yahoo.com

Expertise

I can answer just about everything from the 80`s, rock, pop, trivias, artist infos, Billboard chart positions, albums, etc. But songs that became hit in the Philippines and OPM songs are my expertise. I grew on 80`s music and still listening to 80`s music as it is the best era in music history for me. My friends call me the walking encyclopedia of 80`s music. I got books & collections of CDs, all from the 80`s.

Experience

Let's just say music is my life and my source is a lifetime of knowledge about 80's music and then some.
