This is the original Walnut Hill Manor control room at 811 Walnut Street in Maryville, Tennessee where it all started back in April of 2004. The picture above was taken in the early spring of 2005. We are looking at Delilah, the main data server. To the left of the server can be seen a number of computers and the right end of the Peavy 88-note studio MIDI controller.

Directly under the controller is the MidiTzer computer, a custom-built machine for virtual theatre organ. The computers next to it were waiting to be serviced. In the corner of the room behind the computers is the rack containing the power amplifiers and outboard gear, with the Canon color inkjet printer on top. The stand over the server holds the monitor, mouse and keyboard used to service machines that customers brought in.

In August of 2005, Walnut Hill Productions relocated to Clearwater, Florida. Here, we see the temporary control room at Tom Hoehn's residence at 1357 Irving Avenue. During the two month stay at Tom Hoehn's, house, the recording sessions for Sounds of Grace were carried out.

Again, we are looking at Delilah, the main data server. The APC 1500 watt UPS is resting on top of the server and the audio rack is to the right of it. Note the wallpaper on the server's monitor, depicting the Foundation Chamber of the famous 4/37 Mighty WurliTzer Theatre Pipe Organ installed at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, California.

The company moved again on December 6th of 2006 to an apartment in Marysville, Yuba County, California. This was a very brief stay for the Bone Doctor as he tried to patch together the relationship he had with his wife to be, Kimberly McCormick.

Fate was not with them, and so on January 28th of 2007, the Doc moved out and headed south to be with the founding father of Walnut Hill, Fred Willis, in Ridgecrest, Kern County, California.

Fred's health began to fail him and by May 5th, he was in the hospital in Ridgecrest. By May 10th, he had been religated to permanent nursing care in Victorville, another two hours south. On September 20th, Doc moved in with Fred's neighbor, Mister Todd. Fred was not coming home.

To the right of the two machines that belong to Fred is the Main Data Server known as Delilah. This is Doc's machine and has been the computer that this website has been written and transmitted on for the past four years. It is in its third rebuild and upgrade. Delilah is by far the most powerful of the three towers.

Walnut Hill Productions, per the desires of Fred Willis, took custody of the electronic equipment Fred had collected for setting up a digital recording studio. The computer gear was installed in a third bedroom at Mister Todd's residence. This became the new Walnut Hill Office of Operations. This small space also doubles as the recording studio control room.

The three computers are all in use. The one on the left is called Whimpy Game. It holds the Mighty MidiTzer Style 260SP, Fred's Documents, and several fun games. It is also an excellent graphics editor equipped with a versatile Epson printer.

In the middle is a machine called the Archiver. It is a digital file cabinet and backup rig. It is hooked up to a KVM like the Whimpy Game so that the two computers can share one LCD, keyboard and tracball. It is possible to connect two more computers in this fashion.

Listen to music from the Sub Urban Cowboys.
