I wrote a theme song--from the 80s!

So, for those of you who don't know, I do a couple of podcasts for my company, Open Book Audio.  One podcast is a weekly installment of my recording of "The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" by Mark Twain.  I release a couple of chapters of the book on a weekly basis.  It's a free audiobook!

I also do the fortnightly Open Book Audio podcast with my partner, Andrew, and we talk about audiobooks in general.  We also have samples of other audiobooks, giveaways, and an occasional epic rant or two.

You may also remember that one of my resolutions for the year is to get back into writing music more often.  I haven't been writing much lately, and wanted to get back into it.  Over the last week or so, I've been writing and producing some music that I can use for the intro and outro music for the OBA podcast, and in doing so, I realized something: I've missed my calling in life.

You see, I started trying to write something that was like the theme to NBC Nightly News or the Olympics or something.  But as I got going along, i realized that I was being taken on a journey through musical time, back to that magic era where all television shows had immensely awesome theme songs–the 80s and early 90s.  (My love of the awesome TV Theme Song has been well documented here.)  Before I knew it, I had written an intro theme that was so quintessentially 1989 that I may have squealed with delight…like a big old 'mo at a Barbra Streisand concert.  It wasn't want I had set out to write, but it was SO much more awesome.  I was BORN to write TV theme songs for 80s and 90s television shows.  I was just born about 20 years too late.

So, sit back, grab your slap bracelets, jelly shoes, and hypercolor clothes.  I am proud to present, with no further adieu, my piece de resistance, the Theme to the Open Book Audio Podcast.  Bask in the 80s!
