Hunter -- Another great one! I've really enjoyed this series of writings about past guitarists and have learned a lot.

I was amused by your references to Django Rienhardt. Just two nights ago I watched "Django Unchained" (no relation ;) ) and it happened to be the 104th anniversary of the 'real' Django. A fun coincidence.

Thanks for your essays. I look forward to the next one.
