Has Hank made any plans to record anything else or is WOW possibly his swan song? Mind you he is 81.

Some years ago, there was talk about a new album in the same style as "Django's Castle". Does anyone know if there are any plans to release this or if the material has been recorded for it at all?

Hmm, i was hoping more for an electric album. I bought his last gypsy jazz album but it wasn't for me.

I wonder who buys CDs these days. Perhaps only the older generations. My young friends simply listen on Spotify or other app.

The YouTube videos of Hank in the studio recording the album are very entertaining.

Well I still buy physical music carriers like LPs and CDs. I think for the sake of the artists, it would be better to abandon all the various streaming servies, especially Spotify, because they make most money out of it (or should that be get?). In my view the streaming services do the littlest work, but get the most money, very unfair and that's one of the reasons why I don't use them. Also, I think it's ridiculous to keep paying for music monthly which I already have or music I'm not interested in. But the main reason for me to buy LPs and CDs is having the artwork, the physical music carrier, to have it 'in your hands', not some sound file on your computer. I do use sound files, but only in my car.

Think the artists gets something like 0.3p per stream. Ridiculous.
