[John Petters]

Here is a short clip of the great man.
Just the name Django says it all.
The first original sound in jazz to come from a European musician - an 
illetrate Gypsy, with a damgage hand. Yet he made the most amazing music 
along with Stephane Grappelli as part of the Quintet of the Hot Club of 
France.

Paul Barnes pays tribute to this great musician tomorrow on the exact 
centenarray of his birth.

Have a good weekend,

John Petters
