I went to Amazon to check their price for this 10 CD set. I was surprised to find that it was only 16 dollars! Naturally I had to click through and buy it. {#Good-vibes}

Brings back memories of the Steve Martin / Michael Caine film "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels".

Best song of all times! Best guitar player of all times! Best jazz player of all times!
Grappelli is also a great violinist!

This is the well-spring whence comes nearly all in the genre, including, unfortunately, the crap you no doubt like.

i love the emotion of this song, and how it ends with "oh yeah"...

also worth a listen: belleruche's version / cover of this song.

This is worth repeating:

"His right leg was paralysed and the third and fourth fingers of his left hand were badly burned. . .With rehabilitation and practice he relearned his craft in a completely new way, even as his third and fourth fingers remained partially paralysed. He played all of his guitar solos with only two fingers, and used the two injured digits only for chord work."

Freaking amazing.

Has anybody seen Tony Gatlif's movie Swing? It's absolutely lovely and inspired by Django. If you like it, Gatlif's other movies are really worth watching too. They all revolve around music, mainly gypsy and Roma. Other favorites are Exils and Vengo. Enjoy :-)
