Happy Birthday Jean Baptiste

If he were still alive Jean Baptiste "Django" Reinhardt would be 98. Gotta love his music.

I am going to guess...you were sitting in the den....on laptop...listening to Music Choice's Big Band & Jazz station and appeared on the screen was the fact:
Django was born on January 23, 1910, in Liberchies, Belgium...NO? am i right? or did you really know his birth day? :-)
Did you know he only played with 2 fingers on his fret hand, due to a fire accident?

But none the less....
Here here...I agree, Django is awesome!!

No, I was on my way back from Home Depot and was listening to WBGO and they played one of his pieces after mentioning it was his birthday.
