Rick,

The company that put out Oscar Alenan's remarkable recording is David Grissman's. I love Willie and despair of hearing him attempt to emulate Django but if it gains converts to Hot Club music, it may have it's value.

I'm not all that down on Kenny G, Metheny notwithstanding. Not everbody can be a guitar or a jazz as genius and certainly there is room for all kinds and levels of ability. Haven't heard Willie's attempt yet but does he claim to be Django?

I think Oscar Aleman is as great as Django but I also love Django's "Gyspy tricks".

I think Willie is one of the most musical of the pop country acts.
