Matt Munisteri plays that tune almost as well as the master himself, and his L-5 looks and sounds like a million bucks!
Lang had an amazing memory, according to Joe Venuti and many others, which would be a big advantage in playing complicated solo arrangements like "Just a Little Love" and Eddie's other masterpieces, like his version of the Rachmaninoff Prelude and my personal favourite, "Rainbow Dreams".
The problem I've faced in learning a few of these tunes is that if you neglect them for a few months, man, it's a lot of work to play them again...

Well, I went on to watch the rest of the video and was interested in Matt's comments on banjos... I play a plectrum Bacon & Day Silver Bell much like his six string model and just like Matt, I love that knee mute...
If I ever met this guy I know we'd have a lot of fun together...
Thanks again for sharing this, John!
