This song is an 8-bit tribute to my mentor and friend, Mike O'Mara, one of the best men I know. I wrote this in two days over the course of something like 10 hours. Mike, I haven't played any video games in three days for this.

The original song is for choir and piano, an opener written for a musical revue called w00t!, about growing up in the information age. If you want to hear more of Mike's music, you can hear it on his YouTube channel: http://www.youtube.com/user/MikeOMara

This song was written using only 3 separate sounds (percussion, bass, melody/harmony) and 4 tracks. If you have any comments, criticisms, or requests, please let me know! This by no means a "final" version.

Welcome to Episode 3 of "The Story Goes"!

My guest today is Melina, a brilliant actor and world-builder who helps to helm a feminist sci-fi theater company when she's not creating escape room events for clients in a mobile trailer. For real.

Please join us for a discussion about acting, growing up, terrible relationships, lies, and ultimately, finding resilience and meaning through being brave enough to ask for help, vulnerable enough to be a mess, and hopeful enough to keep reaching for what you need.
