"Got No Time" is a song about the never ending fight against time, the pressures of always having to be somewhere, doing right, doing wrong for the right reasons, going to work and sacrificing your time for money, and so on...  This recording was was from July 8th, 2011 at the BrickHouse Brewery in Patchogue, NY.

Here's a track I made using samples from the Commodore 64 drum kit I put together recently with http://www.BedroomProducersBlog.com  I decided to make some music using those drums after the passing of Jack Tramiel.  It's  little tribute and a welcoming to the next phase of life...

 You can have a free Ableton Live Download of those drums here:  http://bit.ly/freesynth51

Lyrics:

It's alright Tonight
You'll be home before long
All of my life I have been waiting for you
When I'm alone I dream of you
Before you go make sure you know
All of my life I have been waiting for you
