This is the Wizard Deluxe model. It is a fictional character in a real story that began so long ago. Sometimes people want to look inside it to see how it works. Some people are curious like that. It doesn't have anything inside it. There used to be batteries and circuitry. It was the command module for a 6 wheeled robot. I took a toy from radio shack and connected its motor output to a diode bridge with 4 small DPDT relays. It worked perfectly and was so powerful it was scary. It had a remote control and it had a switch so the robot would come to you or follow you. Very cool, you should try it some time. Just find the control cable to the motors on the wheels.

I've got some progress to report on the Grey project. It is going well to say that I was able to find and place the java SQLite software on my Mac, so now everything is working. I've discovered things that JFRED could do that I didn't realize. I'm impressed with Paco Nathans work on it. That one package has given me more of an education than the brick and mortar universities failed miserably at. I'm sure there are good schools somewhere but we don't have them in Georgia, unless maybe Georgia Tech can do it. I've had to educate myself despite having about 200 credit hours of  college in Georgia. That's a story for another time.

On the music front, I think my next album will drop on 08/23/2024. It's called Georgia Jungle. It doesn't mean anything and the name was an accident where my working title got glommed into the upload stream and I just left that. Sometimes things write themselves.

I am no longer using Distrokid or Tunecore. They owe me money, but they become bitter when you stop using their product. It will save me some money.
