  I don't know what Micto means, but THANK YOU!
  
  Awesome stuff Ivan - we are not worthy ;-)
  
  By the way folks - the Artillery Lourde video gives a particularly good up close view on Nous'che's right hand at the beginning - first from a front view and then even closer from nearly a player's angle. That angle shot is about the best closeup I've seen of a good rhythm player's right hand - usually you just see from the front, but from the side it gives you a feel for the motion as you would see your own hand doing it. Budding rhythm players... go to school on that. When people say "You should have a loose wrist and your hand should drop naturally toward the floor in a whipping fashion... this is EXACTLY what they're talking about. Nous'che's form is (obviously) fantastic and this video gives you a player's view of it.

  You get one chance to enjoy this day, but if you're doing it right, that's enough.

  Hi guys !
  
  sorry, I thought "Michto" was as popular in America as it is here... Doug is right, it's a hardly translatable word that stands for "Great", "Super", "Fine", "OK" ( according to the degree of smile on the face of the person saying it )
  
  And Yes Bob's right this "Artillerie" is the perfect example of what anyone playing gipsy rhythm should aim at... :roll:
  
  Long is the road...
  
  
  I'll hopefully post a few more exciting vids at end of next week, we're spending three days in the "Cirque d'Hiver" (a beutiful, old 1600-seat venue) with Stochelo of course, + Bireli, Florin, Andreas Oberg & The Symphonic Django orchestra...
  
  Stay tuned

  So you guys don't listen to Sanseverino: in his shows there used to be a nice gag about the "michto" thing!
