A warm Maritime Merry Christmas (or Happy Hanukkah/Kwanzaa/Holidays/Whatever as appropriate) from the Frozen North to all you gadjos and gadjettes out there. Hope you have a wonderful holiday season and that Santa fills your stockings with Argentine Strings, gypsy picks, and who knows ... maybe that long-sought-after perfect gypsy guitar.

    Nice one Ben!

    Happy Holidays and here's hoping that Santa brings plenty of humidifiers to all of you in the "frozen north."

    Humidifiers rock!

    And Michael, thanks for all you do and have done to promote gypsy jazz and gypsy playing. I think I can speak for all of us here in the forum in saying we would not be where we are today without the efforts of people like you, Denis, Andrew Lawrence, and all the others who have shared so generously and given us opportunities to (we can only hope) continually improve our efforts at playing in the style. All the best to you and yours in this holiday season.

  • Well living out here on the wet coast we only get slushy. I have not yet had to use a humidifier. Maybe one year we will get another really cold dry spell that goes on for more than a few days

    Thanks for the kind words! :D

    And I appreciate everyone's support of DjangoBooks and this style as a whole. It's a very small but very dedicated community....pretty good company I'd say.

    Merry Christmas,

    Michael

    Happy Haukkah and a Merry Christmas to all of our gypsy playing friends on both sides of the pond, and especially to Michael Horowitz for all of his continuous and hard work. You've kept us at a very high standard, Michael!

    Happy Holidays to all as well. Thanks for all your help Michael. I really enjoyed meeting you out a DFNW this year. In the spirit of the holidays, here is a link to a group I go see whenever they make it down my way. Not GJ , but deeply influenced by it. The first link is to their fan page with a couple of free downloads. Mr. Grinch is mostly wording but cleverly so. The second link is to their website. On the website be sure to check out Freaks and Bar Isole for a little taste of their musicianship. If you ever get a chance to check out a show, it is a ROFLOL good time. There are out of CT, so should be easy to catch in the Northeast.
