Recorded at: Bad Daddy Studios

"How Long" was born the day the greatly talented guitarist Bruce Marelich (formerly a founding member of the iconic band Bad Daddy) said, "Hey Mark, I've got an interesting guitar part for a song!" What he had come up with was rare yet strangely familiar. His genius had conjured up a part upon which a song can be built. A part which will be remembered. Like the great Keith Richards and The Rolling Stones song, "(I Can't Get No) Satisfaction" Marelich's guitar delivered a unique musical foundation for a song yet to be written.

We worked on this idea day and night with an enthusiasm only obsessed musician/songwriters seem to possess. It was a trance-like, in the zone kind of mania. We buried ourselves in the writing process, barred the Recording Studio door, and didn't come out until the song was complete. Although Bad Daddy broke up before they had a chance to record it, I was motivated to finish what we started, went back in the studio, and came out with a really cool record.

You’re puttin’ on your make up
It’s gotta look just right
A little glitter on your eyelids
We’re steppin’ out tonight
I’d help you zip your dress up
But I can tell there’s something wrong
You add it to that pile on the bed
It’s the ninth one you’ve tried on

How long, baby how long (how long, how long)
How long, baby how long (how long, how long)
How long do I have to wait
How much longer is this gonna take
How long, baby how long

It’s been about a month now
Since I got down on my knees
You said you’d think it over
I’d like an answer, please
I really hate to rush you
But my stomach’s in a knot
I’m calling on my patience, babe
With all the strength I’ve got

How long, baby how long (how long, how long)
How long, baby how long (how long, how long)
It’s been three years since our first date
How long you gonna make me wait
How long, baby how long

This waiting for you seems to take a lifetime
Just once, I’d really like to know
How long
