We work with A&R Representatives, artists and music media, in our goal to come up with, "That Perfect Song For That Very Special Project".
Harry Eckert aka Spud Martin 18 Bradford Street West Seneca, New York 14224 USA Phone - 716 824 1385 e-mail - wuttzituttzil@yahoo.com _______________ "A Little About Me!" In my heyday I had a country band. We played just for the fun of it and due to a walk down the isle and other commitments we disbanded and went our separate ways. Later I found great delight collaborating with selected songwriters and artists, and involved in all facets of the music industry. My song catalog is vast and ever changing with new songs in all genres. My music connections to the Major and Indy markets are well received. I take great pleasure working with A&R Representatives, artists and music media, always searching for, "That Perfect Song For That Very Special Project"! ___________________________ This Website is dedicated to Mary and Jesus, my inspiration in the day to day hurdles along life's difficult journey! ___________________________

Story behind the song
The thought of crucifixion is mind boggling no matter how you look at it and we decided to cover it this way

At the time crucifixion was the "worst" death. Only the worst criminals condemned to be crucified. Yet it was even more dreadful for Jesus unlike other criminals condemned to death by crucifixion, Jesus was to be nailed to the cross by His hands and feet. Each nail was 6 to 8 inches long. The nails were driven into His wrist. Not into His palms as is commonly portrayed. There's a tendon in the wrist that extends to the shoulder. The Roman guards knew that when the nails were being hammered into the wrist, that tendon would tear and break forcing Jesus to use His back muscles to support himself so that He could breathe. Both of His feet were nailed together. Thus He was forced to support Himself on the single nail that impaled His feet to the cross. Jesus could not support himself with His legs because of the pain, so He was forced to alternate between arching His back, then using his legs just to continue to breathe. Imagine the struggle, the pain, the suffering, his courage. Jesus endured this reality for over 3 hours. Yes, over 3 hours! Can you imagine this kind of suffering? A few minutes before He died, Jesus stopped bleeding. He was simply pouring water from his wounds. From common images, we see wounds to His hands and feet and even the spear wound to His side... But do we realize His wounds were actually made in his body. A hammer driving large nails through the wrist, the feet overlapped and an even large nail hammered through the arches, then a Roman guard piercing His side with a spear. But before the nails and the spear, Jesus was whipped and beaten. The whipping was so severe that it tore the flesh from His body. The beating so horrific that His face was torn, and his beard ripped from His face. The crown of thorns cut deeply into His scalp. Most men would not have survived this torture. He had no more blood to bleed out, only water poured from His wounds. The human adult body contains about 3.5 liters (just less than a gallon) of blood. Jesus poured all 3.5 liters of his blood; He had three nails hammered into His members; a crown of thorns on His head and, beyond that, a Roman soldier who stabbed a spear into His chest. All these without mentioning the humiliation He passed after carrying His own cross for almost 2 kilometers, while the crowd spat in his face and threw stones (the cross was almost 30 kg of weight, only for its higher part, where His hands were nailed). Jesus had to endure this experience, so that we can have free access to God, So that our sins could be "washed" away. All of them, with no exception! JESUS CHRIST DIED FOR US!
