Cheers, Everyone! I was born and raised in Germany and moved permanently to the U.S. in 1986. As a young guy (age 18) I've taught myself to play the guitar and soon expanded to other stringed instruments and the piano (well, keyboard!). I've been playing live gigs for years, then took a little break. Soon, I picked up composing and songwriting again. I've been around for music for over 30 years and it still remains one of my biggest passions in life.

Story behind the song
Bob Forbes (RedEyeC) supplied lyrics and vocals to this tune of mine. awesome job, Bob!
Lyrics
Okay – first let me tell you 'bout my side of the story. Starts out easy enough, then becomes a real nightmare. Friday night and I'm outside your door. Waste of time, waste of time. Box of candy and a dozen roses. Waste of time, waste of time. Fancy dinner and the midnight show. It's a waste of time, waste of time. Cute little dress and shiny black boots. Waste of time, waste of time. Walkin' like a model strutin' down the runway. Waste of time, waste of time. How'd you do was all I could say. It's a waste of time, waste of time. Now – you'll probably hear this from her – that I was the bad boy. Well, she's got it all wrong. And how would I know? Well, let me tell ya. We drove right up to the restaurant. Waste of time, waste of time. As she got off the car I caught her flirtin' around. Winking at the valet in the parking lot, It's a waste of time, waste of time. Left me behind in the shadows. It's a waste of time, waste of time. Just a lonely soul from the ghettos. Waste of time, waste of time. All my friends say I should forget her. Waste of time, waste of time. But to my eyes there ain't nothin' better. Waste of time, waste of time. Don't you go makin' my mistake. It's a waste of time, waste of time. You'll regret every minute of the love you make. It's a waste of time, waste of time. Turn your tail and hit the road It's a waste of time, waste of time. Don't even look back for a second. It's a waste of time, waste of time.

This is a house rocker or a bar burner gents! Fine sounding collab with a bluesy southern rock edge overlayed by great lyrics and harmonies complemented nicely by that harp and stop/fill/kicks - great work guys!

Always enjoy a good old school rocker like this...a toe tappin' fun song that tells a story and keeps it alive with hot licks and a drivin' beat. Good dynamics helped to spotlight the solos nicely. Great collab here guys...and definitely not a waste of time!
