I love this music. Nothing can cheer me up like Django.
My best friend in high school, we used to play guitar together all time, leads the Hot Club of Phoenix (bald guy)

He went to college for classical guitar. You'd never believe this guy and I would be learning Judas Priest and Iron Maiden tunes 25 years ago!

Very cool stuff

great talent for sure.
I am a big fan of Stephane Grappelli and he started the band with which Reinhardt played guitar before WW II , Quintette du Hot club of Paris. That is how I first heard him.

these were like rock stars in Paris, playing music all night, hot babes, booze, etc.
it could be just folklore, but I've read that they could literally hear the german guns approaching paris when they were playing in the clubs and before they took off.
