Magic Smoke Blues - Song

 

开云体育

After becoming an expert in the fine art of BS-170 replacement, I finally discovered that the real culprit wasn't the transistors—it was a so-called "12V regulated power supply" that was as unregulated as a toddler in a candy store, running at a much higher voltage. Enter the hero of the day: a buck converter, now proudly protecting my setup from any more overvoltage shenanigans.
With my QDX humming along nicely and the magic smoke securely locked inside the transistors where it belongs, I decided to channel my newfound free time into a noble pursuit. So, with a little help from some AI, I crafted a blues song dedicated to helping fellow QDXers? cope with the heartache of watching that precious magic smoke escape from their BS-170s.
Enjoy. (There is a play button to listen).

I only did the AI prompt.? It created the lyrics and I tweaked them.? All vocals, instruments, sound mixing, etc were done by the AI platform, including album art.? I picked the music genre.?

Soon enough we'll never have to dirty our hands with the strenuous and tedious acts of creativity, art, free-thought ..... Surrender to the Borg.
 

I think we've all had the Magic Smoke Blues at some point or another.
I downloaded it as an MP4 file.
Saved for posterity, lol

Thanks for sharing 72 Mark
