Oh! A big one! I long ago accepted, and EMBRACED, that my audience was mostly other musicians.
There are SO MANY of us... and we're all obsessive about music, so why not embrace them?
Those 50k other artists releasing songs on any given day? That's not your competition -- it's your audience!

I think i plugged the audio out from the tape player directly into my computer, into audacity, and used the tape player like a microphone. Truly the ideal recording setup.

I didn't pay attention to the actual chords of the song, and i just played what felt like it fit with this take on it, which for whatever reason i wanted to try as a country song, despite never listening to or liking country music. I dunno, i was young.

To date, the only song I've ever written lyrics for. It was kind of just a joke, but ended up being kinda a cute song. Maybe the jokiness is the reason i was able to write words without thinking too hard.
