Just a quick post to say hello.
This whole "gypsy jazz" world makes me feel like a kid with a fervent desire to learn, play and share.

Good luck, Oskar, if you love gypsy jazz guitar, you're going to like it here.

Really? San Angel? That's amazing! It's always nice to meet someone who's been to Mexico.
