The guitar, it is talking.
It's Unchained!
I am trying to remember what '30s jazz piano player originally did this tune. Fats Waller?
YES! Fats Waller! Both versions are GREAT!! RP also plays the original Fats Waller version!
My dad had a box set of "Quintette du Hot Club de France" recorded (I think) live in the late 30’s at the Hot Club De France. He would play them to me when I was a kid and my favourites were “Avalon” and “Djangology”. He remained a lifelong fan, and requested that Djangology be played at his funeral when he passed in 2001.
Any play of his music (and RP is one of the few places you can ever hear it played) fills me with so many different emotions, but one of privilege to have experienced the wonderful music of a unique musician, and of having listened to it with such a wonderful man.
Cheers The_Walrus! Great music

Reinhardt is regarded as one of the greatest guitar players of all time; he was the first important European jazz musician who made major contributions to the development of the guitar genre. Wikipedia.
All this classic guitar heros do not mean much to me! Find them quite boring!
Please do not bomb me now!
Obviously, you are an ignorant idiot.
The Betty Boop cartoon in which this song (performed by Louis Armstrong & His Orchestra) appears is titled "I'll Be Glad When You're Dead You Rascal You", but I believe the song title shown above is correct.

Severed in the door of a train...ouch!
where do you people get this stupid info? he was very badly burned when his wagon caught fire. he fingered with left index and middle used 4th & 5th AS BAR CORD. of course he did have 7 fingers on his middle hand.....
loved it!
The usual 5 on each hand. However, the 3rd and 4th fingers on his left had were injured/paralyzed in a fire, and this, as you can imagine, greatly effected his playing style. The solos are done with the 1st and 2nd fingers, and he used the paralyzed ones in limited fashion for chords.
Even with his injuries, his recordings often sound as if he had 8 or 9 fingers on his left hand. I like his version of this tune - I'm more used to the version by Louis Armstrong.
Jerry Jeff Walker named his son 'Django'. Can't imagine why...
Django Walker plays around town sometimes.
c.
there's a group out of Vancouver B.C called VanDjango who play in this vein too.

... Priceless...thanks...I'm still laughing as I write.
He was the six-fingered man! Inconceivable!
Blows my mind! Django is the BEST!
