Also, blast from the past, happy 108th birthday, Django Reinhardt.

Jean "Django" Reinhardt (French: [dʒãŋɡo ʁɛjnaʁt] or [dʒɑ̃ɡo ʁenɑʁt]; 23 January 1910 – 16 May 1953) was a Belgian-born Romani French jazz guitarist and composer, regarded as one of the greatest musicians of the twentieth century. He was the first jazz talent to emerge from Europe and remains the most significant.

There are almost no videos of him playing. Too bad; he was really something else.

Here are a few links to threads with links to Django Reinhardt tunes:
