Gonna try again,
After visiting the Favino Archive that Michael posted a link to
http://www.djangobooks.com/blog/category/favino-archive/

I had remember reading about Favino in:
Gypsy Jazz: In Search of Django Reinhardt and the Soul of Gypsy Swing by Michael Dregni
you can get it here:

Interesting and fun read you may enjoy. This is Page 122 & 123 I took snapshots of my computer screen on Google Reader

@Michael Horowitz
Not sure why there's double's. That's what happened the first time also and when I tried to remove the second picture I believe the data base looses the original picture.
Anyway, I willing to learn and hope you enjoy.

@pickitjohn Thank you so much for posting this! Sure I'll go ahead and post a few pics of my d-hole. It's in the Favino archive but I'll put it here too. I have an oval hole as well. I went to meet JP in Paris at the shop of Luc Degeorges in 2008. I love reading the history of these guitars. Thanks for checking out my website too

@gitpicker Doug, My Pleasure, hope to meet and hear you and your badass
FAVINOS some day soon. I've taken advantage of my step daughters fast internet connection and been playing in cyberland in this great community more in the pass day then ever.
THANKS ALL.
Time to grab my guitar and do some picking.

As a side note. I've been hanging out a lot lately with Dennis Chang @dennis lately. I'm not sure where he's been but after more then a year of having his great Denis Chang 5 DVD set Jazz Manouche: Technique & Improvisation 4 Volume Set and The Art of Accompani set.

Just refrain from using the insert into post feature. Just upload the attachments and leave it at that. They will display at the bottom of the post which is generally all you need.

Thanks....

@MichaelHorowitz I find the deal about insert a little confusing. When do you use the insert to post feature? and why does it say no file selected, the file I did select shows up with a question mark.
If I understand you correctly, if you want to upload 3 files you just hit the choose button, pick file 1, hit the choose button again, pick file 2, etc. and when you post the files just come up in order?

just wanna get it right

thanks

@pickitjohn the inset into post is used to embed the photo within a specific part of the post. Generally you don't need it so just upload the attachments and let it display via the default position which is at the bottom of the post. There is an issue with the preview thumbnails so as you're uploading attachments it doesn't show them. But the files are being uploaded and will display once you post.
