Pure trivia follows: I noticed a piano roll MIDI file in the last batch from Terry Smythe. "The Crazy Otto" I was new to me and liked it, so I made some research. I found that the original medley was a hit in 1955 (I was 5 years old then), Music Arranged and Performed by: Johnny Maddox. It was on a (polyester?) audio recording that was included in the "billboard" list of the year. I also listen to some samples from a current CD in amazon.com and decided to copy (clone) the CH 1 track to a different track and channel; changed the program to "Honky Tonk" in the new track. So when playing, you listen both tracks. Now it sounds more like the original. By the way, Maddox said that Otto was a German pianist, I am not sure if true or imaginary. Thanks again Terry, your files are full of surprises.
