Any Jazz Fans in the Workshop?

I believe Ronnie's daughter Sherry used to work as a barmaid in my "local", when I was 18 or 19.
Small world.
I'm a big fan of Martin Taylor, I guess his dad must have liked guitars as well. Remember Brough Scott, the sports commentator whose dad obviously liked motorbikes? And many years ago I worked with a lovely giant of a man called Aston Bentley Murdoch. He always joked that his father liked cars.

"La Quintette du Hot Club de France! Great stuff. I tried for years to emulate Django, then realised it was really futile."
That's the thing about Django, he just ruined it for everyone else! There are probably better guitarists about, but if you slow his stuff down you can hear that, even at breakneck speed, he gets perfect vibrato on all those notes. And that's with a crippled left hand as well.

My wife and I saw Stephane Grappelli at Fairfield Hall, Croydon several times. He played with the Diz Disley trio. Excellent stuff. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8DT7BwaNvs

Cheers :wink:
