Today is Django Reinhardt's centennial. He was born 100 years ago today.

My favorite Django piece. He and Grappelli (violin) created some real magic together.

I never noticed how much pretty much all of the music from Super Mario Sunshine sounds like Sheik of Araby.

Django is amazing, and I love his stuff with Grappelli. We had a couple of Hot Club Du France CD's as the background music during the meal at our wedding reception, and it lent an extraordinarily classy air to proceedings if I do say so myself.

Django was, and is, amazing. Just imagine if he'd been able to use all his fingers!
