Thanks for posting this.

Your spelling of the song's title isn't quite "Perfect" though... (Har har)

It's been left that way for a while, thanks.

Proudly from Italy: the true name of Eddie Lang was Salvatore Massaro :O)

Funny how he and Django came up around the same time on separate continents and never crossed paths..

But Eddie did die at age 31in 1932 and Django didn't visit the States until 1934 I think..

There would have been some fireworks.

Only time I've read that Django came to the U.S. was with Ellington in 1946. That was when he was late to Carnegie Hall and hacked off the American music critics.

@playingwithfirehurts wow - I never knew that! I can't imagine what hand surgery was like in that time! So glad he didn't heed his advice!

[playingwithfirehurts]

@flooberbloob its bings fault, he told him to get surgery, i guess it didnt go over too well

What year is this 1927?

[flooberbloob]

@Dicedude you might want to read my post again - that is exactly what I said. I was merely lamenting the fact that they never met. By the way, Django's career didn't start in 1934. . From '29-'33 he was already playing regularly. In 1933 alone he recorded numerous tracks, over 30 with the singer Jean Sablon, even more with Freddy Taylor. His career was already well under way. The Quintette was started in 1934. Check your facts before correcting someone else.
