This song title was inspired by my friend Mark Weissman.

This song was written when I was in the process of transitioning
from being a full-time musician, to a software developer.
For me the song represents the conflicted feelings I was experiencing at that time
between the need to survive as an artist,
and the need to provide for my family.
This song is dedicated to my pal Wayne Zito

More of me wallowing in self pity....LOL
The song itself is very much influenced by my friend Jamie Finegan. The
solo section is a nod to Herbie Hancock's "Maiden Voyage".
The performance features me on acoustic guitar as well as
Wayne Zito on bass.
Ed Jurazinsky was nice enough to come down to my house to track drums. Due
to technical difficulties (my own incompetence) I couldn't keep is track, but while his drums were
at the house I managed to track a ride cymbal (with a pencil as a stick) and
a bass drum. Sorry Ed.

The song was written to be the lead-in for a for a Cable TV show
that deals with Wall Street trading ala "The Bloomberg Report".
The title was inspired by a conversation with a fellow software developer
regarding the process of linking computers together to harness their
combined CPU power.
The melodic fragment/harmonization that appears throughout was inspired by
Herbie Hancock. The ostinato in the last half of the song is a blatant
rip-off of King Crimson's "Discipline".
The performance features me on guitar as well as my friend
David Livolsi on bass.
