Jean-Baptiste "Django" Reinhardt (January 23, 1910 – May 16, 1953) was a Belgian Sinto Gypsy jazz guitarist. He was one of the first prominent jazz musicians to be born in Europe, and one of the most renowned jazz guitarists of all time. His most renowned works include "My Sweet", "Minor Swing", "Tears", "Belleville", "Djangology" and "Nuages" (French for "Clouds"). His name is pronounced [dʒɑ̃ŋgo ʀeˈnɑʀt]. More Here at Wikipeddia

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.
