And Be Quick About It.

Right. I'm busy. Whip-me-up-a-Pyramid-by-next-Friday busy.
But I am enjoying a particular musical artiste a lot at the moment, and for once I can share the music with you without fear of ritual live squirrel ingestion at the hands of the RIAA, because it's in the public domain.

Django Reinhardt's 'Minor Swing' with Stephane Grapelli on violin. (link will take you away, or you could right-click and download it)

Stick with it - I know it sounds a bit empty and sinister to start, but man does it get going. The violin rashering backwards and forwards over the guitar towards the end pulls every minor key blues-trick in the book, and a few that I'm sure musical scientists are still puzzling over.
Have a read of the Wikipedia entry for Django, and I'm sure you will, like me, be listening to this fabulous guitarist thinking..."HOW many fingers?"

A large volume of Mr. Reinhardt's work came my way recently courtesy of Buzz. Thank you sir!

That was splendid. It's made me feel all Woosterish. I think I'll go and put some spats on.
