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
This one is kinda deep. The story about a guy who has a affair that goes really, really bad, and the consequences to be suffered as a result, as narrated by the "dark prince", so to speak. TK's guitar work rips!
Lyrics
No Rest For The Wicked Lyrics and music c. Steve Waddington No Rest For The Wicked, there's no sleep for the Damned And you ask yourself over and over again how it all got so far out of hand And she says that she'll come and she'll save you from this And she's holding the keys in her hand And she stops and she laughs and she gives you a look But its something you don't understand (no, you don't understand...) No Rest For The Wicked, there's no respect for the dead And you curse all the nights spent together, when you got in way over your head And if she'd only stop for a moment or two Well, you'd have both your hands on her neck And if they should ask, you would offer a tale Without even a trace of regret I could have told you, but I chose not to Just find out for yourself, you can trust noone else No Rest For The Wicked, there's no escape from this place If you had your whole life to live over again, well, you'd still make that one same mistake There's a clock and a cross and they're both winding down 'Til you get to the end of the line And a switch and a spark and a small puff of smoke And a moment is frozen in time (it's frozen in time...) Eternity's mine...eternity's mine There's No Rest For The Wicked...
