This is kind of a coincidence.  Some of you know I play guitar and I sing, but I haven't played guitar in a few years.  I was checking out YouTube a little while ago, and this popped up in my feed.  It's a song I recorded almost 20 years ago.  I recorded it on June 6, 2006.  I remember the exact date, and I might explain why at a later time, but it's too much of a tangent right now.  When I recorded this song, there was no video element to it.  I had never heard of YouTube.  I'm not sure it was around in 2006.  Two years later, I got a home wifi hotspot, and I discovered MySpace, Facebook, and YouTube.  I decided I needed an alter ego as a handle, and I created homercocktail in August of 2008.  I was excited about YouTube, and I uploaded a video per day for about a year.  I had already recorded a lot of music, and I was recording more as I went along.  I didn't rehearse songs before playing them.  Why?  I'm not really sure, but I emphasized quantity over quality.  I was a fan of other YouTube artists, and I subscribed to more than 200 channels.  Most of these people uploaded a video per week, most of it acoustic music.  This song, Believer, is one of my favorite songs I recorded.  Like I said, I recorded it in 2006, but I didn't upload it until four years later.  I'm a fan of Ozzy Osbourne, and when I started my AI Music thread here at Sheeple Gateway, the first song posted was a trubute, I Don't Know.  All the recorded and AI-produced music I've put out are true renditions.  I'm trying to put my own interpretation into it.  I'm not trying to create a carbon copy.  This version of Believer is no different.  I like the haunting feel it came across with.  I hope ya' like it!  For the first minute, I'm tuning and setting up.  You can hear me moving stuff around, and knocking things over.  I love this lyric in the song:

"You've got to believe in yourself,
       or no one will believe in you ..."
