Mr. Majstyk (took the name from an old Charles Bronson movie that no one remembers...kinda cool and obscure...sorta fitting!) Just a man and his guitar and his music. A few fills here and there to keep it interesting. Maybe no one else gets it, but that's OK. The stories needed to be told, to be written, to be recorded and documented. Not to be "hits"...just to be "songs". Stripped down to he essentials. It starts with words and melody. And a story. And an overall musical "mood". Funny how some things never change no matter how much money or technology you throw at it. It starts and ends with the song. I was "in the biz" for a good many years. In the 70's, I was the lead singer/performer (aka Vince Diamond) in the 50's and 60's rock n roll review "Cruis'n". Throughout the 80's, I was the lead singer/songwriter/rhythm guitarist of "Steve One and the Shades", and in the 90's, the lead singer/songwriter/guitarist of "St. Christopher's Sin". Took a break for awhile and moved to Los Angeles. Got into acting and voice-over work, and while that is fun and challenging, I missed the music. Didn't miss being in a "band" per se, but just missed the creative spark of songwriting and guitar playing and singing. So, I unpacked my gear and just started writing again. Archived here for storage and to share with other musicians and "civilians". And I am back to performing live again, doing the kind of variety thing I started with, but this time digging deep into my roots and performing the stuff I heard as a child and thru my formative years..."From Rat Pack to Rock & Roll!" with legendary keyboardist David Moscoe as my music director and band leader.

Story behind the song
There are those who, without ANY investigation, seem to latch on to an idea (ideal?) or concept or guru or whatever... and put all their hopes and faith into it. They will not listen to any criticism or question it at all...and when its later found to be false, they are just emotionally devastated. I feel sorry for them, but, well...That's What You Get.
Lyrics
That's What You Get Lyrics and music c. Steve Waddington So That's What You Get When you fall in love and you give yourself away It's not over yet Until you're on your knees and there's nothing left to pray And everything that you ever heard about Love and Trust and Faith just leaves you flat And That's What You Get...yeah So That's What You Get When you're in too deep and you don't know where to turn And look at what's left When you lose your soul and your flesh begins to burn And everything that you've ever felt about Heaven, Hell and God just leaves you flat And That's What You Get... It's not over yet... It's not over yet....(what did you expect?) So That's What You Get When you reach too high and your whole life comes undone Sticky and wet When your wings are wax and you fly too near the sun And everything that you've ever learned about Fate and Life and Luck just leaves you flat And That's What You Get And everything that you've ever known about Heaven, Sex and Death just leaves you flat And That's What You get It's not over yet And That's What You Get...Heaven, Sex and Death
