Ever hear of a guy called Django Reinhardt? He was like Jaco, or even bigger in his day, back in the 40's, my father jammed with him in Paris @ 1943, it would be like you playing with Eric Clapton, that's how popular this guy was, his hands were deformed, and he could do things, no other guitar player could do, when my father was alive, he was saying that when they told him he was being shipped overseas for the war, all his buddies were like, man! you'll be able to see Django! Anyway, he not only saw him, but got to jam with him, my dad was a great trumpet player, here's a picture.

His Biography if you have time to go through it

Nope, that was NENA (99 Luftballons)

Django Reinhardt... I heard his name often but I never pay attention. I admit, I'm enough
ignorant about music from the 30-40-50's. I just started recently to look at old stuff.
I'll look at it!
Do you know Son House? I first heard about him from an interview with Beck (not Jeff Beck). I like this kind of music, pure expression & inspiration.

Your father was a great trumpet player... so I figure you play music too?

Ahh, I just wrote this long deal and it fricken vanished
Yello, I figured that was the case when I saw the picture of those 2 freaks
Claf, I do play a little guitar, but it aint no ukalele, if you know what I mean, I took some lessons on Bass, but I never stuck with it, although I do like both. My little brother is the real musician in the family, he plays keyboard/trumpet, but now he's a fireman/paramedic, he could jam with anyone out there, and I mean anyone, he's like, so what, no big deal, I swear it makes me crazy, if I had that kind of talent, I would have a bad ass group together, and be verrrry rich, but what can you do

Anyone ever catch Missing Persons, back in the 80's? Terry Bozzio and his then/wife, Dale, was the lead singer, she had posed in Hustler around the same time, Terry used to play for Zappa, and is the drummer on the Jeff Beck Guitar shop CD, anyway, I was lucky enough to catch the show in a small bar on Fort Lauderdale beach, and Terry's drum kit, was in front of the band, not in the back like it usually always is for every other concert you've ever seen, and soon after the show started, I realized why, this guy is such a dynamic drummer, if you ever get a chance to see him perform, DO IT


It only starts off bad, but a great solo, he fricken goes gonzo

In case you missed it before

Hey! Thanks Paul for the Jaco's site.

I had the luck to see Bozzio in a very small place, alone on stage performing on his drum.
He's technically very strong.
I payed 7$CAN... something like 5$US!!

I see that was "1997" It's getting obscene now with prices, $1000 for stones tickets, and these idiots pay it, the only way to keep the prices down, is if no-one buys.
I just heard that Jimmy Page, and Jeff Beck, with some others will be here, I need to find out more and then take out a loan

It still seems so unreal that Jaco is gone


It's great that people out there still know, and appreciate what kind of impact he made on music, so if you're too young to know who he was, I would say check out his work, he brought the bass out front, and sped up the heartbeat in jazz music,

This should be in every jazz collection, the title says it all.

Wow.



Just...wow.

I thought I was the only one who remembered Django Reinhardt...

This foto was taken in october 1840 It was recently found in a bavarian village and shows the widow of Wolgang Amadeus MOZART, Constanze Mozart (the woman at the left edge), who was 78 years old when this foto was taken. Its a kind of sensation that this historical document was found at least. So, and now back to pop-music

You a Django fan DP? Now, most people never heard of him, but he was big in his day.
And Yellow, is that an early picture of Motley Crew?
What was the name of that Mozart movie, back in the 80"s, and the actor that played him, it's been a while.

Anyone ever see Stevie Ray Vaughan perform? I caught him at Sunrise musical center, just before his death, Aug. 27 1990, it was like one of those things that you just don't believe when you hear it, I was like, man! I just saw him, no way! but what a loss.

"Closer" at Woodstock 94
A few minor sound problems half way through, these guys are tough on the old instruments






I saw Nine Inch Nails at the first Lollapalooza tour in Orlando, more than 12-14 years ago, Pretty Hate Machine was the body of work that they played, which in my opinion, was Trent's best work, it was something to see, he slammed his guitar player against the speakers so hard they had to remove him, he was bloody afterwards and at the moment, I can't remember who came out and replaced the guy, maybe (Dave Navarro of Janes Addiction I think) but he looked at Trent and you could tell, he was like, dude, don't even think about it, so he proceded to slam the equipment, the sound guys were freaking out, he'd smash it, they would run and set it back up, he would go back and smash it again, and all the while, they sounded great, bodies were flying in the air, the moshpit was a bit violent to say the least, I had naver seen anything like it before, or after. Trent recorded parts of Downward Spiral in my friends Sound Studio, which was pretty cool, he was back and forth between New Orleans and Lauderdale, I can't go into too much detail, because I don't know, or can't remember, anyway, Trent Reznor, is a one man show, oh so few brain cells left, what will I do in a few more yeras



Any Treky fans?
