The case to save the article starts with the connection between active-duty US Navy sonar and Weird Al

I will allow my IP address because it is protected by RoadRunner obfuscation. Everything is verifiable through due diligence.

I am William Curtis Turner born in California, former professional musician, former professional composer, former software developer of still existing video poker and keno and laser-disc professional and amateur gambling and lottery devices, first software engineer responsible single-handed for bringing OpenGL "video-game" style visualization to the JHU Advanced Physics Laboratories' products for the US Navy's still-active-duty experimental submersible cigar-shaped objects, and I was allowed to do so despite lack of an active clearance and required to infer all existing target platforms. Who can say that? I should be readily reachable as well. ^[1]

I'll start with the Weird Al connection, his article is solid. Do I need more? Go ahead and delete if I don't need more. Someone please consider them, though; I believe I make the entire case or at least offer the path to modify multiple articles.

1. Bermuda Schwartz might owe his career to Jeff. As a child, Bermuda's biggest success and the one that kept him going was a combo that Jeff and myself formed and I met Bermuda when we both participated in the Los Angeles Police Junior Band.

^[2]

2. Weird Al's first success with Dr Demento he attributes to the help of then-Jon Schwartz.

^[3]

3. The cited material doesn't begin to reflect Jeff's influence on Ridley Scott's success and that of his now-departed brother.

^[4]

4. Jeff worked for the largest Japanese music hardware firm that starts with an R and was their musical and technical representative for the committee that developed MIDI 1.0 <period> What other software development team other than NASA has built a global standard starting before 1980, that is in more hardware than DARPAnet ever was, and developed a standard compatible with every amateur and professional musical technology and music-oriented software and hardware platform and the majority of videogames to this day?

^[5]

5. I believe Jeff has changed for the better, and augmented the pallet and tools, of every contemporary professional film, television, videogame, and cartoon composer today. ^[6]
