The story

After years of pursuing an unsuccessful jazz career, Mark Deveraux took several jobs writing TV show themes and commercial jingles to earn a living; while successful in acquiring steady work, he wishes to write meaningful music. After winning out over several more experienced composers to score a science fiction film, he spends a weekend in a cabin trying to develop a song that sounds like a "universal greeting" based on the producer's instruction. After composing something he believes is worthwhile, he calls his girlfriend, the producer for an internationally syndicated talk radio show, who accidentally broadcasts the song.
