Well, I guess I'll reply to my own post. On the A section I hear these changes (all two beats each) C, A-7, D-7, G7, C, A-7, D-7, G7, E-7, A7, D-7, G7, C, Ebdim, D-7, Db7 repeat. Now the bridge is where I could use some help. So will somebody listen to this tune and help a brother out?

Sorry for the delay; my internet connection is down at home right now. I'll look into it soon. It looks like your A section is just rhythm changes with a slight variation on the turnaround. I'll listen to the tune tomorrow for the rest. The usual rhythm changes bridge is just a circle of fifths progression starting on the third (so in C it would be 2 bars each of: E7, A7, D7, G7) but Django often tweaked the bridge to make it his own.
