I've been reading this for 10 minutes thinking of Gary Potter. Sorry, Gary!

So in other words, it will be exactly like most live gypsy jazz jams.

Try shooting them an email...Wayne there is a great guy and if anything has gone haywire he'll straighten it out. For what it's worth, he mentioned that he started shipping orders on Nov 4, and I saw that someone in Holland got theirs on the 10th.

Scot Wise has written about a 1960s album by Andre Dedjean that features Swing Gitan under the name Stephane Stomp; he might be the composer. For some reason, the forum isn't accepting my image upload right now, but you can see a record sleeve here.

AWESOME.

Hi Keith,

Just thought I'd mention that you should be looking for "Selmer" style guitars, and not "Selma" style. Not trying to be a jerk?it just might make a difference if you're looking online.

Where are you located? I bet we can find you a guitar or two to try?

Jack.

I've always liked the Limehouse Blues album; thanks for reminding me to go back and give it another listen. Teddy has been in touch to set me straight on the photo--the Kessel one is legit; I was remembering a fake "Django meets Oscar Peterson" photo (see below). Now what was this thread a...

For some reason my memory is telling me that photo was a doctoring job?two photos patched together. Might be wrong. Here's a bit from Paul Vernon Chester's site: BARNEY KESSEL Django's music became important to me many years after the initial exposure. When I first heard him I probably was incapable...

Still around, just not as much free time lately between gigs and job-hunting. I do miss my 3am gin and forum appointments, though... Jack, how close to Lenox are you? Used to be an actor, part of Shakespeare & Co..... Often thought of moving back. What's the music scene like? I'm about 45 minut...

:lol: I don't think balls had anything to do with it, it was like, do you want this well-paid gig with the world's greatest living gypsy guitarist? ummm...yes please. I'm not a shrinking violet and what better way to get some real insight into the style? Dave gave it to me. For that, I'm eternally ...

Thanks again for putting these up! You really came back in a big way this last month!

best,

I think what's happened with the two forums is that a lot of newer players naturally migrate to Djangobooks because that's where they bought their five-foot stack of books, and they have a lot of questions about p.23 or whatever. Then they stick around. So largely now I find that Michael's spot cate...

We just do it to mess with you. For what it's worth, I've really been digging all that footage from Spatzo--incredible stuff!! Love the Chope footage, too...
