Yeah Here I Am Sitting On This Bar Stool
Talking Like A Damn Fool
Got The Twelve O’clock News Blues
And I’ve Given Up Hope
For The Afternoon Soaps
And A Bottle Of Cold Brew
Is It Any Wonder I’m Not Crazy
Is It Any Wonder I’m Sane At All
Well I’m So Tired Of Losing
I’ve Got Nothing To Do And All Day To Do It
Well I’d Go Out Cruising But I’ve No Place
To Go And All Night To Get There
Is It Any Wonder I’m Not A Criminal
Is It Any Wonder I’m Not In Jail
Is It Any Wonder
I’ve Got Too Much Time On My Hands
It’s Ticking Away With My Sanity
I’ve Got Too Much Time On My Hands
It’s Hard To Believe Such A Calamity
I’ve Got Too Much Time On My Hands
And It’s Ticking Away Ticking Away From Me
Too Much Time On My Hands
It’s Tick Tick Tick Tick Ticking Away
(Too Much Time On My Hands)
I Don’t Know What To Do With Myself
(Too Much Time On My Hands)
Solo
Too Much Time On My Hands
Too Much Time On My Hands
Too Much Time On My Hands
Now I’m A Jet Fuel Genius
I Can Solve The World’s Problems
Without Even Trying
I’ve Got Dozens Of Friends
And The Fun Never Ends
That Is As Long As I’m Buying
Is It Any Wonder I’m Not The President
Is It Any Wonder I’m Null And Void
Is It Any Wonder I’ve Got
Too Much Time On My Hands
It’s Ticking Away With My SanityI’ve Got
Too Much Time On My Hands
It’s Hard To Believe Such A Calamity
I’ve Got Too Much Time On My Hands
And It’s Ticking Away Ticking Away From Me
Too Much Time On My Hands
Tick Tick Tick Tick Tick Ticking Away
(Too Much Time On My Hands)
Now I Don’t Know What To Do With Myself
(Too Much Time On My Hands)
Umm Mmm
(Too Much Time On My Hands)
Tick Tick Tick Ticking Away
(Too Much Time On My Hands)
Umm Mmm
(Too Much Time On My Hands)
Too Much Time On My Hands
Too Much Time On My

Spending All My Nights
All My Money Going Out On The Town
Doing Anything Just To Get You Off Of My Mind
But When The Morning Comes
I’m Right Back Where I Started Again
Tryin’ To Forget You Is Just A Waste Of Time
Baby Come Back Any Kind Of Fool Could See
There Was Something In Everything About You
Baby Come Back You Can Blame It All On Me
I Was Wrong And I Just Can’t Live Without You
All Day Long
Wearing A Mask Of False Bravado
Trying To Keep Up A Smile That Hides A Tear
But As The Sun Goes Down
I Get That Empty Feeling Again
How I Wish To God That You Were Here
Baby Come Back Oh Baby
Any Kind Of Fool Could See
There Was Something In Everything About You
Baby Come Back You Can Blame It All On Me
I Was Wrong And I Just Can’t Live Without You
Now That I Put It All Together
Give Me The Chance To Make You See
Have You Used Up All The Love In Your Heart
Nothing Left For Me Ain’t
Is There Nothing Left For Me
Baby Come Back Any Kind Of Fool Could See
There Was Something In Everything About You
Baby Come Back Listen Baby
You Can Blame It All On Me
I Was Wrong And I Just Can’t Live Without You
I Was Wrong And I Just Can’t Live
Baby Come Back Oh Baby
Any Kind Of Fool Could See
There Was Something In Everything About You
Baby Come Back Listen Baby
You Can Blame It All On Me
I Was Wrong And I Just Can’t Live Without You
Baby Come Back Any Kind Of Fool Could See
There Was Something In Everything About You

The Lights Go Out And I Can’t Be Saved
Tides That I Tried To Swim Against
Have Brought Me Down Upon My Knees
Oh I Beg I Beg And Plead
Singin’ Come Out Of Things Unsaid
Shoot An Apple Off My Head
And A Trouble That Can’t Be Named
A Tiger’s Waiting To Be Tamed Singin’
You Are

Confusion Never Stops
Closing Walls And Tickin’ Clocks
Gonna Come Back And Take You Home
I Could Not Stop That You Now Know
Singin’ Come Out Upon My Seas
Cursed Missed Opportunities
Am I A Part Of The Cure
Or Am I Part Of The Disease Singin’

As I Was Walking
Down The Street One Day
A Man Came Up To Me And Asked Me
What The Time Was
That Was On My Watch
Yeah And I Said
(I Don’t) Does Anybody Really
Know What Time It Is
(Care) Does Anybody Really Care
(About Time) If So I Can’t Imagine Why
(Oh No No) We’ve All Got Time Enough To Cry
And I Was Walking Down The Street One Day
A Pretty Lady Looked At Me
And Said Her Diamond Watch
Had Stopped Cold Dead And I Said
(I Don’t) Does Anybody Really Know
What Time It Is
(Care) Does Anybody Really Care
(About Time) If So I Can’t Imagine Why
(Oh No No) We’ve All Got Time Enough To Cry
And I Was Walking Down The Street One Day
Being Pushed And Shoved By People
Trying To Beat The Clock Oh No
I Just Don’t Know I Don’t Know I Don’t Know-oh
And I Said Yes I Said
(People Runnin’ Everywhere
Don’t Know Where To Go
Don’t Know Where I Am
Can’t See Past The Next Step
Don’t Have Time To Think Past The Last One
Have No Time To Look Around
Just Run Around Run Around Think Why)
(I Don’t) Does Anybody Really
Know What Time It Is
(Care) Does Anybody Really Care
(About Time) If So I Can’t Imagine Why
(Oh No No) We’ve All Got Time Enough To Die
Everybody’s Working
(I Don’t Care) I Don’t Care
(About Time) About Time
(Oh No No) I Don’t Care

In 2007, I reconnected with my long-time friend and former bandmate, Gary Zdenek. We had a jam session with a few other guys, eventually forming a cover band called Room For Five. Our band’s original lineup included Charlie Askley on lead vocals, Mark DeVilbiss on bass/vocals, Gary Zdenek on drums/vocals, Craig Ott on guitar/vocals, and myself on keyboards.
As Room For Five, we covered primarily songs from the 50s through the ’70s, performing classics from artists like The Beatles, Elvis, and The Who, among many others. After playing a few small venues, our band’s lineup changed with the departure of Charlie Askley. We decided to change our band name and our lead vocalist, and we became The HitMen. In late 2008, we debuted with Mark DeVilbiss on bass/vocals, Gary Zdenek on drums/vocals, Craig Ott on guitar/vocals, and myself on keyboards.
With The HitMen, we expanded our music catalog by including many songs from the 80s. We played at more venues, including Splits Lounge, Pelican Isle, and many exclusive events. Our band continued to evolve, and we eventually added a new bass/vocalist, a vocalist/guitarist, and a new name. SlipJacket was born, and we said goodbye to our time as The HitMen.
In 2010, the last incarnation of The HitMen saw a name change and the addition of world-class bassist/vocalist Wayne Green, formerly of 4play and The Grumps. Wayne was our first and only choice to replace our previous bassist, and with his addition, SlipJacket’s music direction exploded. Our band lineup included Gary Zdenek on drums/vocals, Craig Ott on guitar/vocals, and myself on keyboards/vocals. The band also had virtuoso guitarist and vocalist Godofredo Bautista.
We started playing songs from all six decades, including music from groups like Train, Player, Midnight Oil, Toad The Wet Sprocket, Snow Patrol, New Radicals, Big Country, Van Halen, Coldplay, and Simple Minds, among others. Our venues also expanded, and we played at Mills Creek, The White House, The Back Alley, Original Mike’s, and The Canyon Inn.
Unfortunately, my decision to move my family out of the state would eventually end my tenure with SlipJacket. However, to date, SlipJacket continues to perform. As a tribute to our band’s journey, we have included a live promotional demo on this page, featuring classic covers from STYX, Van Halen, Coldplay, Chicago, The Cars, and Simple Minds.
