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
Living in Beverly Hills can give you a strange perspective on the human condition. Vanity, for instance...I see so many people trying to defy the effects of time and age. It's really pathetic to see someone so obviously altered until they really don't even look human. What a sacrifice! Hmmm..maybe there's a song here....(oh yeah, and its kinda about vampires too.) Check out Skip on bass...and TK's ethereal guitar.
Lyrics
Sacrifice Lyrics and music c. Steve Waddington She's burning candles for me, she's laid out on the floor An open invitation to somewhere I've never been before She's keeping something from me, a passion deep inside Her throat is so enticing, I want to take her down and Sacrifice, Sacrifice...when you take the knife you pay the price Sacrifice Sacrifice...and blood is running cold as ice And now her scent surrounds me, I kiss her where she bleeds I want her wrapped around me, I want to fill that need I follow where she leads me, I swallow her advice Alone in total darkness, she wants to take me daown and Sacrifice, Sacrifice...when you take the knife you pay the price Sacrifice Sacrifice...and blood is running cold as ice And all the saints and sinners tell you where to go Unless you Sacrifice, you may never know And she's still burning candles, and she still looks so nice And she'll stay young forever, as long as she can find a Sacrifice, Sacrifice...when you take the knife you pay the price Sacrifice Sacrifice...and blood is running cold as ice Cold as ice....
