Well, my wife has been waiting for weeks for Netflix to release the new film “Rebecca”... many of you folks my age will remember the original 1940 Hitchcock film is a sort of gothic melodrama...
...anyway, last night I ended up watching it with her, and my favourite parts were the scenes in Monte Carlo where they used some tasteful GJ guitar as background music.
I tried valiantly to read the little tiny credit lettering to find out who was playing, but no joy...
So, if that excellent guitarist should ever happen to stumble upon this website, I give them a hearty salute!
It is a British film, so maybe it’s a British guitarist...?

Ah! That nice guitar playing actually was Django!
Okay, that explains a lot... thanks, Bill!
You know, the cleaned-up sound of those old recordings with today’s technology is so good that you don’t even think you’re listening to vintage 78’s..,
Edgar Degas: "Only when he no longer knows what he is doing does the painter do good things.... To draw, you must close your eyes and sing."
