The Way International -- Peter Dizozza (1982 piano vocal)

The employee/boss/life's-purpose dilemma ... There are two clear musical influences in this song ("Ho ho ho it's magic you know... never believe it's not so..." and also, by rodgers & Hammerstein, "With a Song in My heart") that combine with a pulsing piano accompaniment to convey an office aide's impressions of a charismatic boss, leaving his position (as a public servant) to accept a position in the private sector (Goldman Sachs). His dedicated staff (at the Comptroller's Office) feel betrayed when he chooses to leave them. Oh, good, I was wondering if I had a recording of this song. There is also an audio tape version with a clearer vocal. Written and only privately performed in 1983 (1981?) the song, "The Way International" uses as its title the name of a born-again bible reading movement.

[dizozza]

@greatheart52 A colleague at the comptroller's office left to join The Way International...this is a 1982 video..And our boss left to join Goldman Sachs.

@greatheart52 this is a 1982 video of a song (basically about abandonment) written at a time when one of my office friends left his job to join the way international... coincidentally our boss left to work at Goldman Sachs. Peter

This is very creative, just like the original story line and music the creators of the musical, "Annie" put together. Very enjoyable. Keep playing!

[dizozza]

Thank you, Sammysioux. Will do! Peter
