If you knew a little about the story of Django you would not write like this.

Thank you for the info about Michel Warlop.

No problem, I'm very happy to do it and I wish there was more space on here to write. Michel Warlop has long been my favorite jazz musician. Read the last line of my first post and then look just below it at my user name on here. Does that tell you anything?

Out of curiousoity, does your YT name come from the Jerry Mengo record named Bibi? It was recorded during WW2 in Paris on the Swing label but not released until about 1990.

This was released as the 13th record in the catalog of Disques Swing (in other words, Swing 13), the first record company in the world dedicated only to jazz.. I have the original 78 and this is on the A side. Also, it was recorded on 21 December, 1937 and not on the 27th as I mentioned below. I wanted to be Disques Swing 13 but YT wouldn't let me have that one.

Everything I've heard and read about Warlop points to the conclusion that he was a hyperactive child that never outgrew his hyperactivity. The passion, the intensity, the power all lead to this. It was said that his talent came from somewhere else, that he was totally original, etc. I think he lived in his own world and had his own frame of reference and that was reflected in his music.

Until 2002, the pastry shop where grew up still had the Warlop name even though it was on its 3rd new owner. Now it's part of a chain and has their name and colors. The new owner is named Cucci and he has kept the same high quality that the shop was famous for. They also seem to be nice people even if they've erased all the traces of the past. En français dans l'avenir proche...

Aujourd'hui, dimanche, le 23 Janvier 2011 est le centenaire de la naissance de Michel Warlop. Je vais à Douai en France pour visiter la pâtisserie où il a grandi. C'est également le 101ème anniversaire de Django Reinhardt.
