A little behind the scenes info here. I filmed this video yesterday and stayed up late last night editing it. I thought it would be fun to take the camera to band practice and include a song at the end. When I uploaded the video last night, I got a notification that the video has been copyright claimed because of the song. Problem is, I wrote the song, self published it and own every inch of it. It's happened to me a few times before, but I disputed the claims and won after a little while.
I like that Youtube tries to protect people's copyright, but the system has a long way to go. So, I disputed it last night and when I published a few minutes ago, I got a notification that youtube would limit the reach of this video. If I had a bunch of free time, I would have just edited the song out, but I always publish at 8am (Indy time) and I haven't missed a day for the last two years or so. So, I'm letting it ride. The dispute will be cleared, but it can take up to a month. I'm only sharing this, so y'all can get a feel for some of the silliness that happens behind the scenes.
Also, that guy that busted me was really nice about it. And lastly, the audio for the song is straight off the camera. It's not great, but it's way better than I thought it would be.
Otis, have been watching your videos for a couple of years. Never realised what a great singer you are. All the best from Leighton Buzzard (near Milton Keynes in the U of K). And please stop nicking your own songs…
As a singer songwriter from Indiana I can appreciate u your content !!πππΈπ€
Beautiful song, you're OK Otis.
Love the song! Glad you left it in.
You could go across the street to Happy Days. Theyβd be cool with it Iβm sure. And the coffee is pretty good too.
I hope E. Washington comes back to life soon! The music made me smile, and cry!
in other words, u-tube tries but is not 100% always right
band/song sounded great
Wow! Great video Otis, thank you! Love what you're doin', please keep it goin'!

'Ole Audiophile to Otis Gibbs: My mother was from Tennessee & loved listening to music. We kept an A.M. Radio on the kitchen counter powered up dawn through dusk at least six days a week until my father saw his way into purchasing Mom a huge console stereo hifi for the living room. We all grew up listening to country music in a big way typically on WSLR/whistler radio. Johnny Cash was a huge part of that. Eventually as a kid, I became fairly disgusted with all the twang in Country, especially ole' traditional country artists. I went my way while mom went hers upstairs in the living room. That's the way it stood for a long time. I eventually softened my stance as I became accustomed to more different styles of music. Then, lo & behold, Johnny Cash covered Nine Inch Nails. Wow! My mind was blown. Little about Johnny Cash surprises me now, least of all this. Thanx.
That Strat, beautiful.
Really nice Otis
