In the mid 1990s, my Dad, who worked for the Tulsa Public School System, wrangled it such that I got the gig writing and recording the theme music for a tv show they were going to be making.  I can't recall if it was going to be in Spanish, or teaching Spanish, or what, but they wanted a Latin-sounding theme song.  This is what I came up with.

This is captured from a cassette that was in pretty bad shape, as you can tell, but was as far as I know the only place on earth that this still existed.  It's eleven minutes long because it contains eight different alternate versions of it, at different lengths.  If repetition is not your thing, don't feel obligated to listen to it all.

Anyway, it's the first piece of music I was ever paid to compose and record, and even though it's dated and naive, I kinda love it.
