    I'd say Grappelli had to be one truly 'happy' man. He lived 89 creative years and spread joy to untold number of music lovers all over the world.

    I saw Stephane live, once, in San Francisco. I set out to be critical, to be jaded --- but he melted my heart. Then I was allowed to slip backstage to meet him, and he was so gracious and approachable. I can't see how anyone could not like this (even if the particular style of music isn't one's favorite)!

      LEFT U EXTREMELY SHAKEN UP.
      AFTER U LEFT WHEN HE WAS FINISHED ALL THE STREET LIGHTS SUDDENLY APPEARED
      IT IS CALLED HYPNOTIZATION.

    Stephane Gapelli said he learned his violin style from listening to Django play! One of the great/amazing things about Stephane is that he played with as much ease and consistency on the really hard parts as he did on the easy parts!

    I am so fortunate that some 60 + years ago my father introduced me to this music by the Hot Club of France ( Grapelli and Django Rheinhard). Django influenced every good guitar player from Les Paul and Chet Atkins ... and that influence goes on today. Merci to the French particularly and Europe for keeping this music alive while North America wallows in (c) RAP and Hip Hop. Bravo!
