If I could only pick one other guitar player to listen to besides Django, it would be Charlie Christian. He inspires me as much as Django, and no other player quite reaches that tier for me. So here's the question: can you name all of the songs recorded by both Django & Christian? I came up with 11. I'll get started with the low hanging fruit:


Rose Room

Honeysuckle Rose

Stardust


See if you all can come up with the other 8, plus any that I may have missed. Please no repeats. I'll reveal my other 8 (plus any produced by the forum) at the end of the month. Have fun with it, I find it fascinating.

    Confessin’

    Stomping at the Savoy

    That makes 12 - and there are at least two more I can think of.
