Django was amazing, and did what he did with only two fingers (the middle and index fingers- his third and fouth fingers were burned and deformed in a fire when he was young.)
I haven't heard of Jorgenson (we lost both our jazz and classical stations last year) but I sure will check him out.

He’s a session musician who also has his own albums. He’s done a couple of albums of Django inspired music. Really incredible stuff. Some of it is Django’s songs, some of it is original compositions, all of it is incredible.
Also, for those who love good acoustical guitar playing, I can’t recommend highly enough YOAV. The guy is simply stunning. I saw him as an opening act for Tori Amos in December and it’s just a guy with his guitar and nothing else. All other sounds are created by looping the sounds of his guitar back upon itself so he can accompany himself. Really amazing stuff, and beautiful lyricism as well.

In my younger days I used to listen to: Country Joe & The Fish "Fix'n To Die Rag" or Jefferson Airplane and who can forget The Allman Bro's Band.
Then there was Mountain and basically everyone who played at Woodstock 69. A great year!
Just my 2 cents
I'm hanging with Snoop Dog and Tech Nine tonight, some days it's Feist and Jack Johnson, and I adore 80's pop.
The audio track . . . the post . . .

If (or when?) you find yourself in that twilight zone where you are too bushed (not Bush'ed) to do anything smart but still too jumpy to lie down and sleep.. there's a number of outstanding jazz and jazzy pop tracks on YouTube. I've been sampling jazz pianists Keith Jarrett and Erroll Garner. Here's a sampler: Erroll Garner in Rome 1972 "For once in my life.."

And now a commercial message from Navy Patrol Boat, River..

"There is nothing patriotic about hating your government or pretending you can hate your government but love your country."
Primus
Traffic/Blind Faith
Black Crowes
Johnny Cash
:cheers::cheers::cheers:
Lately it's been:
Neil Young
THE BOSS
The Eagles
:bbg:
why not? Cash did covers of "13" by Danzig (a song that sounds like it was written for Cash) and also "Rusty Cage" by Soundgarden.
Oh! He also did "Hurt" by NIN (Ternt Reznor) and "Personal Jesus" from Depeche Mode (Though I think Marilyn Manson did a far better version)
Then again, I could listen to Cash sing the phone book:D
