Where did you find this guy at DG??? He's GREAT!!! It's a shame he is no longer around.

He found me, LR. I like history, I like Jazz. I saw his name, listened to a tune, and he reached out and grabbed me.

Somewhere, I have Django and Grappelli doing a Bach tune. I can only think that Bach wrote it with them in mind.
