Why the internet does not need ill-considered laws

You don't hear Robert P. Johnson on the radio all that often these days.

Or Willie "The Lion" Smith. Throw in some Fats Waller and Art Tatum (assuming he doesn't decide to throw in a ringer) and you could build your own cutting contest. It's a harmless eccentricity. The joint will be jumpin'.

You can base the contest on "Carolina Shout": A or B or C or D (or E if you're up for more player piano rolls) if you fel the need for a theme.

Go, tiger go.

We should not forget Eubie Blake and Jelly Roll Morton. Mr. Morton would hate to be forgotten!

Also, the photo montages that people have added to some of these selections? Lovely things.

This, let me repeat, is why the internet needs to stay as untrammeled as possible.
