Larryz Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 Django, will always be remembered by me, as one of the greatest at improvisation. He has inspired me to try and learn to improvise and to play through the pain in my hands due to arthritis as I get older. I'm so glad others can experience his playing on YouTube.

Larryz Posted February 25, 2019 Share Posted February 25, 2019 George is my favorite Beatle...(if I had to pick just one): [video:youtube] Quote Take care, Larryz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitefang Posted February 27, 2019 Author Share Posted February 27, 2019 Funny but, My Mom wasn't really a Beatles "fan", bu did like a couple/few of their earlier tunes, and she too like GEORGE. I'd kid her about it because her husband's( my stepdad) name was George too, but she said she thought out of all of them that HE was the most handsome: "Those dark, piercing eyes just seem to go through you." Early on she used to laugh that, "Those skinny legs could HOLD UP under the weight of that big guitar!" Whitefang Quote I started out with NOTHING...and I still have most of it left!
