Robert Baitinger, a songwriter from Germany
For songwriters who dont sing or perform it is extremely hard to make ones mark in the music business because they dont have a platform to present and promote their work. This is more or less the situation that I, Robert Baitinger, a songwriter from Germany, have been confronted with since I started writing songs in 1978. My idea is to complement my songwriting capabilities with the "helping hands" of excellent artists, musicians and innovative producers. In the age of the internet it has become easier to communicate and collaborate with musicians and producers all over the world. I am utilizing the internet and pursuing the idea of a conceptual studio band with a frequently changing lineup of artists. I call this project the "Rob B. Project" since I supply the melodies and/or lyrics of a song and other musicians/producers/songwriters contribute their talents and skills to make it come to life.

Story behind the song
In Facebook somebody posted the following: Old age has just come at a bad time. Just as I was beginning to know everything, I'm now forgetting everything I knew. I thought, what a cool quote, so I wrote a song about it.
Lyrics
Old Age Comes At A Bad Time [Verse] I walk in a room forget why I came Lost my own glasses, that's my new game Step on the floor, but miss the beat Shake my hips, still move my feet! [Chorus] Old age comes at a bad time Just as I was hitting my prime I was ready to rock Now I misplace my socks So I'll raise a toast with beer and wine Old age comes at a bad time [Verse] Tell the same story two times in a row Laugh at the joke, though I don't even know Names disappear like clouds in the mist But I lift my glass and shake my fist! [Chorus] Old age comes at a bad time Just as I was hitting my prime I was ready to rock Now I misplace my socks So I'll raise a toast with beer and wine Old age comes at a bad time [Bridge - call-and-response style] Forget my keys? (that's all right!) Can't find my phone? (call tonight!) I get lost? (that's ok) I might just find (a better way!) [Interlude] [Chorus] Old age comes at a bad time Just as I was hitting my prime I was ready to rock, now I misplace my socks So I'll raise a toast with beer and wine Old age comes at a bad time [Outro - chant idea] So raise a glass, one more time! Old age comes at a bad time! Old age comes at a bad time
