I can dance to it too. Been able to do so since 1960.

The kids usually dance Balboa to that these days though.

more or less slot as opposed to circular NY Savoy Style.

Since I mentioned Balboa this is interesting to watch when you have the time. Its Peter Loggins talk on how that dance migrated and grew ......numerous parts.

I have music from Le Club Hot featuring Reinhardt and Grapelli, but it hadn't occurred to me to look it up on You Tube.

He really was liked greased lightning on that guitar.

He was one of the first Roma people to have a foot in both worlds, which made him look a little crazy to everybody else. However, I have always been deeply grateful that he shared his incredible talent with the rest of us.

He inspired Black Sabbath guitarist Tony Iommi to continue playing after Tony lost a couple of his fingertips in an industrial accident.
