This is promising to be a really great festival! Many thanks goes out to John Sandlin for all his hard work! I hope all you southwest (and Texas) gypsy jazzers can make it.

Here is some press about this weekend with an interview with Johnny from Le Chat Lunatique.

In addition to the great concerts, the Howard Alden workshop on saturday will be terrific! Hope to meet some of you there.

Sounds great, I wish you luck. As far as Fapy, as you probably know, he will probably never set foot on another plane or boat. he has been asked many times. It's too bad. He was great at Samois two summers ago. [he drove, of course. He and Wasso were staying at my hotel, by coincidence]. Tchavalo missed the Birdland festival last year. Pat got Kruno to fill in last minute.
Cheers y'all,
Barry

Just a thank you to everyone who came to the Djangofest in Albuquerque! It was truly terrific and a very special thanks to Howard Alden for inviting a couple of his friends to play... anyone who was there will know what I'm talking about! That place was packed and you could have heard a pin drop! Great workshop from Howard as well! Thanks Chuck for making making the trek over the rim with your very talanted band... Everyone was just superb. Thanks all and John Sandlin did a steller job putting it together... Great
