Bo Django!

The latest musical project from certified nice person and hot fiddle player David LaFlamme is "Bo Django", a group dedicated to the great Gypsy guitarist Django Rheinhardt. David was the co-founder of the original Dan Hicks and His Hot Licks, and then achieved notoriety with "It's A Beautiful Day" in the late 1960s. A few of us saw him and his band play at New Hampshire's Loon Mountain in the early 1990s. They opened for another not-too-shabby fiddler, the late "Hillbilly Jazzer" Vassar Clements. Vassar called him "Danny LaFlamme" all night, and during his set David regaled us all with the story of how he got stranded in a barn by an angry moose.

"Bo Django, an exciting new musical group, plays the fiery music created in the 1930s and ‘40s by legendary French Gypsy guitarist, Django Reinhardt, and carried on today largely by European Gypsies and non-Gypsies alike."

More at David's website, including some tasty mp3 samples! The info is in the left frame at the very bottom (I hate frames). Linda is also in the band on (what else?) vocals.
