It will always make sense if you don't think about it too much.
I've been writing, recording and performing music for longer than I care to admit. Let's just say 20-25 years... give or take... as the crow flies. In the studio I do about everything except drums. I'm not 'great' at anything, just 'pretty good' at a lot of different things. I currently front 7 different line ups and outfits of various shapes and sizes and that keeps me playing pretty much year around. I can scale it down for budget-gigs and I can expand it out for the 'Big Show'. Current Acts: 1. SOLO- Louie McNeal (Acoustic Guitar and Vocal) 2. DUO 1- Fitzpatrick/ McNeal (2 Acoustic Guitars and 2 Vocals) 3. DUO 2 - Mc2 (Acoustic Guitar, Bass and 2 Vocals) 4. TRIO 1. - Acousticats (2 Acoustic Guitars, Upright Bass and 3 Vocals) 5. TRIO 2. - Hard Edits (Electric Guitar, Bass, Drums and 3 vocals 6. TRIO 3. - LTC (2 Acoustic Guitars, Percussion and 3 vocals) 7. QUARTET- Long Time Coming (Acoustic Guitar, Electric Guitar, Bass, Drums and 4 Vocals) [Though the majority of these bands and acts primarily focus on genre specific cover material, they are all capable of performing our impressive catalog of original compositions, when the opportunity presents itself.] I have recorded and produced 9 of my own albums (most available here on this site) and I have produced countless other acts and performers throughout my region. I love collaborating on songwriting. Some of my more accessible and popular tracks are ones where I worked with a collaborator. Music is my life. I sacrificed a LOT to be able to do it on my own terms and be happy about it. There are easier ways to go, but I prefer the more challenging aspects of writing, recording and performing my music. I really like the phrase, "A calm and easy ocean will make a lousy sailor out of you." Don't know who said it, but I seem to live by it.

Story behind the song
This song is a story about buried treasure and the truth about it that is buried even deeper.
Lyrics
Early in the morning (Early in the morning) Way before the sun shines (Early in the morning) Dark clouds forming (Early in the morning) Over graveyards and goldmines (Early in the morning) Stuck in the cold mud (Early in the morning) Tombstones with no words (Early in the morning) Bathed in a nation's blood (Early in the morning) Find a coffin with a gold bird (Early in the morning) Chorus: Take that black-top road to the back lot Tombstone, flowerpot, X marks the right spot Six feet under, there's a shame that the world hides Is it any wonder, why so many people had to die Is it any wonder, why so many people had to die Hard rain falling (Hard rain falling) Ain't no place dry (Hard rain falling) Lightning crawlin' (Hard rain falling) Over beaten up and bloody skies (Hard rain falling) Bad wind coming in (Hard rain falling) Black crow huddled 'neath a weathervane (Hard rain falling) Distant thundering (Hard rain falling) Like the drums of a million sins (Hard rain falling) (Chorus) Everybody's talking (Everybody's talking) Nobody says a thing (Everybody's talking) Everybody's walking (Everybody's talking) No one ever goes the same way (Everybody's talking) Everybody wondering (Everybody's talking) Nobody breaks the code (Everybody's talking) No matter what you call it now (Everybody's talking) It'll always be NAZI gold (Everybody's talking) (Chorus)
