Story Behind The Song
Copyright 09/17/03...........................................
Paramount Group...................AWARD WINNER.
I saw the projected path of Hurricane Isabel 7
days beore it made landfall. I rightly surmised
it would hit Cape Hatteras head-on, and ruin my vacation. So....I knocked out the song in 5 days flat, and copyrighted it the day before it hit land ! I'm a realist. To allude to the..." Dead + Dying " before it happened, is to take a
Catagory 4 Hurricane for granted. Its sad to say,
..." Isabel "...lived up to the reputation of a major Hurricane, as 15 to 20 people lost their lives. I wish it had made me eat my words
( lyrics )...but unfortunatly...it didn't.

You Churn..And Burn..And Then You Gain
Gain On Me
Bet You Think..Your Migh-ty Swell
Will Catch Me..Be-fore I Flee

Psynopsis : A song about the major hurricane ..." Isabel "...that hit the Eastern Seaboard in September of
2003, comming ashore in Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. An event song ( disaster ) put to Slow
Rock at my request by Paramount Group in Nashville in the arrangement. Requested the sound
effects also ( wind, thunder, crashing waves etc ) that was included in the instrumental that I had
origionally sent them. A song in the same genre as ...The Wreck Of The Edmund Fitzgerald. Many
people, especially Easterners will relate to this song, from experiencing it.
