Thank you so much for putting me on to the Hot
Club of Cowtown. Obviously, a takeoff on the Hot
Club of France, -- it's quintet starring Stephane
Grappelli & Django Reinhardt.
The tune is one of Django's most famous.
Stephane was probably one of the 3 or 4 greatest
jazz violinists that ever lived, and Chet Atkins
names Django as THE most influential guitarist of
all times!!
Altho I'm sure they play a lot of Western Swing at
the club, this isn't it!
