Harry Volpe
I have been reading up on the history of Epiphone Archtops (recently bought a beatuiful 1940 Epi Triumph!) and I saw a bunch of old pictures of Harry Volpe playing the same archtops.
I hadn't heard of him, so I looked him up and it turns out he was an amazing guitarist very much in the style of Django and Oscar Aleman. Definitely in their class in terms of musicianship too! Sorry if this is "old news" to some of you.
There are some great samples of him on this myspace site:

And a picture of him with Django! Wish I could have been there to hear that jam session.
