Today, in Musical History, February 2nd, 1926: Three men, either desperate or with nothing better to do, dance the Charleston, non-stop, for 22 hours.

At least they did it as part of a dance competition, and not because they just wuvved the song so much; maybe I should start a new category, "Today in STUPID History", instead of Musical History....

Here we have a clear demonstration of what can happen when you let an amateur musician with a little too much access to music and recording technology, run around unsupervised.

Whether it's "superior" to the original is kinda besides the point -

Even though it IS superior - because, well, what WOULDN'T be "superior" to the original ?

It's as if a 1973 Indiana Holiday Inn Lounge somehow gained sentience - But somebody decided to get it down on tape, instead of alerting the authorities. Mr. Schneider made THREE albums - although it is unknown if there was any demand whatsoever for them, or simply because nobody thought it was their business to stop him.
