Thank you, the respect is definitely mutual.
Django reinhardt was a jazz guitarists in the 1930s his genre is more specifically known as Gypsy Swing, hard to describe, but the first thing that will dawn on you if you check out some of his more popular stuff is that you've definitely heard him before. The amazing thing about him is that he's one of the fastest jazz guitarist that has ever lived and he was capaple of doing more with two workable fingers than 90% of all guitarists that have ever lived could do with all five. He certainly comes highly recommended from me.
