Even with his injuries, his recordings often sound as if he had 8 or 9 fingers on his left hand. I like his version of this tune - I'm more used to the version by Louis Armstrong.

Jerry Jeff Walker named his son 'Django'. Can't imagine why...

Django Walker plays around town sometimes.

Ande there's a group out of Vancouver B.C called VanDjango who play in this vein too.

This is the first guy Willie talks about when he recalls his early heros - (oh, all right, Bob Wills is in there too) {#Good-vibes} {#Cool}

This is amazing! I love it! Brings to mind all of those really, really old cartoons where surreal scenes were the norm. You know, trees playing box guitars and birds dancing with foxes. Scared me silly as a kid, but the music is phenomenal.

... Priceless...thanks...I'm still laughing as I write.

Is it just me, or did Django and the bass player get a beat or two off from each other towards the end?

Great song! This guy was amazing on the old Maccaferri. There is also an excellent version of this tune by Louis Armstrong & His Orchestra.
