Thanks Robin. Even us old dogs who've been playing Django's Castle for years can learn a new trick here. Helps freshen up what I've been doing.

Very nice Robin. In wanting to expand my playing to include different styles/genres, I've long wanted to delve in to gypsy jazz, but the speed involved with a good portion of it --- well, it can be challenging. However, this tune is easy to get my fingers under and I appreciate you posting it. I'm going to take a look at your other offerings (book, etc) as well. Thanks for all you do!
