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
Deiree...not so much a girl's name but a metaphor for all the things we seem to be attracted to, some of them with deadly consequences. Addiction? Maybe. Obsession? Certainly.
Lyrics
Desiree Lyrics and music c. Steve Waddington She wants all that I can give What I've got is not enough She makes living here so hard She makes loving her so tough She looks straight into your heart And she moves without a sound And you would kill for just a kiss Whenever Desiree's around Whenever Desiree's around I would promise her my soul If that would keep her satisfied But I seem to lose control As my composure starts its' slide And she leaves me in the dark And I'm crawling on the ground Yet I always ask for more Whenever Desiree's around Whenever Desiree's around And her face is china white And her hands are cold as ice upon my spine And Desiree is mine... All she wants is what I've got Sometimes its all a bit too much I feel her hands around my heart I feel I'm drifting out of touch I lick the poison from her mouth And we make love without a sound And I'm not anywhere at all Whenever Desiree's around Whenever Desiree's around Desiree's around...
