Adrian, you just put a kibosh on this round 😆
maybe one month we can ask-
“what songs can you name that were recorded by both Django & Benny Goodman?”
Great pity they never recorded one together.

This thread is useful for me as I’ve listened to virtually zero of Les Paul’s stuff. With players you always wonder “Where do I start?” and it’s a good a place as any. Thanks folks!
Good question, Andy W. Awhile back, the trivia question dealt with tunes recorded by both Django & Charlie Christian. If you pull up that old thread, it will get you pretty close, since so much of CC's work was done with BG. Look for another trivia question coming soon...
