L.T. loved traveling the county and country taking photos of old barns and buildings, he enjoyed learning the history behind the old buildings and the many hours spent talking to folks intrigued by the story’s left behind. His travels took him to Nashville Tennessee where he finally fulfilled a lifelong dream of recording a few songs that he wrote many, many years ago about his home growing up in Laurel Grove of St. Mary’s County which is where he was most happy, up on his farm watching the deer graze in the field from the front porch of his home.
