    @Willie and @Buco - someplace I have a video of Toranado and Titi where he is playing my old Dell Arte 7 string - I was blown away, he just retuned it from low A to Low B, and played like it had always been there. . .

    I'll see If I can clip it out this weekend from the very, very long recordings I made at Samoreau that year.

    Lot's of great music in this thread guys!

    Correction

    From left to right: Mirano, Marcel and Jeffrey Weiss of "Django forever".

    ... and complement

    There is guitarist Robert Weiss, who played with "Django Deluxe" and other bands. There is Roberto Weiss, who played guitar with "Django forever" when Marcel (whom I confused with Mirano) did not play. Jeffrey Weiss plays first lead guitar with "Django forever", and Jeffrey Weiss (Giovanni's brother) plays double bass with "Django Deluxe".

    All information is from Manusch Weiss, who is father in law to Jeffrey (the guitar man), and has played with all of the musicians mentioned above.

    Mogeli Geisler's fantastic album "Gypsy Summit"

    Sounds great.

    I haven't found a way of actually buying the album as a CD or even mp3 (Qubus seems to sell it but won't allow me to register).

    Not on Bandcamp or as a CD on Amazon. Frustrating.

    I tend to avoid streaming sites as I believe the artists only receive peanuts.

    Thanks @Willie

    It's great to see this learning actually happening after reading about it in the accounts of how they got started from top players.

    Thank you for those posts! In fact, the youtube algorithm has only recently sent me to these videos:

    I love the way the lead guitarists play, but what touches me the most is the rhythm section like in the first video.

    It's amazing how musical that kid is at his age, incredible. There's a nice video of Dorado teaching young Samson that I always loved watching. He has no problem correcting Samson but does it without much emotion, just matter-of-factly; "good", "no, like this". In the states everything is always "GREAT!!" when it comes to critiquing kids even though that doesn't do them any favors.

    Off topic, but an addition to Buco's post concerning musical education in the Schmitt family. Impressive how Samson makes little Stenli participate although she cannot yet play guitar:

    (And, by the way, the beautiful guitars father and son are playing! Di Mauro and Favino?)

    This amazing ted talk from Victor Wooten reminds me of how so many of the Sinti have educated themselves musically - When I ask people like Herve Ganguinetti and Titi Bamberger about only playing the rhythm; their response was that was the need at the time they were born so the family could work as musicians!
