George Benson Django story
This video interview was just posted by Reverb as George is preparing to list some personal guitars for sale. At 25 minutes in he tells an incredible story of going to France and being gifted a guitar that Django played on, from Django’s “best friend.” One of the claims was that Django was buried there. Has anyone heard these claims before? I wonder who this friend was? It’s fun to speculate that Bireli was one of young guitar players that night.

"incredible" sounds about right 😁
