Re: [disklavier] The crazy Otto...

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.

Hi,

I have the original 45 (remember those?) record.

My folks originally purchased it when it came out, but I just about wore it out 
listening to it over and over for many years.

It's not really playable any more... :^(
