I have always wanted to play this Django-influenced style of music. Never thought I might be playing it on the banjo...

Outstanding gypsy swing!!! I love this stuff! Five stars from me. I'd give more if I could.
You wouldn't happened to have tabbed it out, would you? :-) Or am I going to have to spend the next month slowing down the mp3?

Thanks so much Nestor - sorry, no tab - I have enough trouble playing this stuff let alone tabbing it! Be glad to give you some tips though, if you get stuck.
Ed - that was the desired efffect!
Thanks everyone!

Wow! That is incredible. Are you playing the guitar too?
I must have bad strings on my banjo...... It doesn't sound anything like yours.

Thanks John and Greg! Yes, gtr is my first instrument. I think you have a very nice banjo, sounds great.

I missed this in August because of kidney surgery. (I swear I'm not lying.) This is great, I would have commented for sure.

Thank you Patrick - yes, I have been to Paris several times but I never seemed to have enough $money$ - maybe next time...
(and I have a friend who plays banjo at Disneyland Paris)

That's not just going to the Latin quarter, it's also very Django-ish. Great job, love to hear banjo on this type of material, you did it justice and very tasteful!

Well I just finished listening to your entire song list and this tune is my favorite. Just a perfect rendition of a great swing tune. I could go on and on about how great you play but I need to go practice. Geesh, I thought I was makin' progress until I heard this. Too cool, man! You got the gypsy jazz in you, my friend. WOW!!!!! Move over Bireli Lagrene.

Outstanding, you did a lot of homework on that one, it's not easy play jazz on the banjo, but you pulled it off without a hitch. Excellent listening music!

I've just discovered this kind of stuff, and you've nailed it. What great talent buddy. I could listen a hundred times.

Thanks Tony I'm often surprised that people like this one because to me it sounds kinda rough. 2009 was back in the stone age lol!
