Patrick J. McCool has been part of Huntsville music happenings for over 30 years, both as a bass player and as a sound engineer. He started writing his own music a while back and unveiled them at a rehearsal for one of his bands, The Orbits. The other guys in the group liked the songs and started jamming to them. Thus, the seed of an album was planted. Patrick's debut album, All Over The Place, appears under the group name, THE SCOOBIE GROOVE CONUNDRUM. Patrick called on his many talented friends to participate in the creation of this incredibly collaborative album.

All Over The Place debuted on the Huntsville Madison County Public Library Blast Music platform in November 2023.
