Not even when it's Django, or the Rosenberg Quartet?

Thank you for the info, after informing my brother in law who lives in Perth he has now booked four tickets . He tells me Hank now lives in Margaret River.

This is an interest video of Hank describing the differences in picking technique:

Nuncio Mondia on Accordion (Lead) with a very enthusiastic looking Gary Taylor:

I must admit it’s not for me, but I’m open minded enough to be interested in the techniques and there is some interesting history on Gary Taylor, which I hadn’t been fully aware of:

Sorry to be picky...but Hank won't actually be 81 until 28th October

I love Gypsy Jazz music...and Hank's contribution to it. Hank had a Gypsy Jazz tour of Britain all lined up about 10 years ago which I was looking forward to; a shame it all came to nothing. Anyone heard of Remi Harris - an incredibly talented young (gypsy jazz) guitarist based in the Worcester area? We've seen him a few times and got all three of his CDs...
